Allamakee County Public Health opening vaccines to 18 and older

Allamakee County Public Health officials have announced they are now inviting anyone ages 18 and over to sign up on-line for a COVID-19 vaccine to be added to the vaccination list.

Anyone age 18 and over interested in being added to this list will need to access the Veterans Memorial Hospital website at  www.veteransmemorialhospital.com to sign-up. Those who are not able to sign up online can call the hospital at 563-568-3411 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and ask for the COVID line for assistance with this process.

For those who have already signed up on a different list, it is requested that they sign up again at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com. That will enable the partners, including Veterans Memorial Hospital, Gundersen Health Waukon Clinic, Hartig Drug, Prescription Shoppe Pharmacy and Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care (Allamakee County Public Health), to condense everyone to one list to avoid duplication and more efficiently and thoroughly schedule these vaccinations.

As vaccine is allocated to these partners, they will contact eligible individuals to arrange a time for them to receive their vaccination. No one should be signing up on the hospital’s website for second doses, only the first, prime dose of the vaccine.
