Vaccine Prioritization

Message Update

If you are 65 or older and want to receive the Covid vaccine, please call (928) 289-1930 and schedule an appointment.
We are vaccinating by appointment only, and we are following the Navajo Nation and Navajo Area IHS priority guidelines. To get an appointment for this vaccination, you will need to have a medical record here at WIHCC and live in the WIHCC service area.

Winslow Indian Health Care Center now offering vaccinations against Covid-19

We intend to vaccinate all of our eligible patient population, but this will take several months to accomplish. This is because we keeping with Navajo Area IHS (NAIHS) and Navajo Nation priorities for immunizing priority groups first and also because our supplies will not all come in all at once.  Instead, they will arrive in limited supplies over several shipments spread over several months.  Below depicts an infographic of the prioritization in three phases.
Picture
We have now started into Phase 1B, this means we will be reaching out to priority groups as supplies come in.  Not everyone will be eligible to be vaccinated at the same time.  We need to start with our most vulnerable patients – mostly elderly patients and those with chronic medical conditions that put them at greatest risk for serious complications from Covid.  We will also try to begin immunizing people who are determined to be essential workers, including law enforcement, fire fighters, teachers, food service workers, and other groups – however we do not yet have the supply of vaccines necessary to vaccinate all of these groups.

Covid-19 Vaccine Prioritization
PHASE 1 BEGINNING DECEMBER 2020

Picture
Because our vaccines will be arriving in limited supplies over many shipments in the next few months, our mass vaccination events will be very different from the ones we’ve held in the past.  They will not be “first come first served” events for anyone wanting a vaccine.  Instead, we will need to reach out first to people in the NAIHS and Navajo Nation priority groups, and make appointments for them to be vaccinated.  
​
Please bear with us through this complicated process, and be alert for WIHCC announcements on our website (WIHCC.com), Facebook page, and on the radio for vaccine availability, and for information on eligible groups as we work our way through all of our patients in the recommended sequence. 

WIHCC encourages all of our eligible patients to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Remember – defeating this virus will depend on enough of us getting vaccinated to stop the spread!

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
