We will follow the state guidance as we move through the different COVID-19 vaccine phases. Currently, we are working on Phase 1A and Phase 1B - Tier 1 and Tier 2 per state guidance. If you are interested in receiving the vaccine when it becomes available, there is a link below to a survey that takes less than 5 minutes of your time. It is very important that you provide an email address to us as it will be the primary means of communication once we start moving through the subsequent Tiers. We appreciate your continued efforts to slow the spread of Coronavirus in our community.
