Getting Vaccinated in Nevada County

As of January 22nd, all of Phase 1A is eligible for vaccine. Starting next week some parts of Phase 1B Tier One are eligible to access vaccine, specifically educators and corrections. The list of groups eligible in Phase 1B Tier One will soon expand. As of last Friday, we've received just over 3,000 vaccines that have been allocated from the Federal supply by the State. There are more than 28,000 residents in Nevada County who are 65+, 2x more than the State average. Nevada County also has 3x the population to be vaccinated in Tier 1A than some of our neighboring counties. 

Nevada County Public Health and local healthcare providers are working to vaccinate Nevada County as quickly, safely and equitably as possible.

Please note: Counties May Be in Different Places in Vaccine Administration

The California Department of Public Health has convened a Drafting Guidelines Workgroup which is leveraging national prioritization frameworks and reviewing data regarding occupational exposure and COVID risk to prioritize sectors across phases and tiered population groups. Counties will follow these guidelines in administering vaccine.

However, given the number of people falling into the various tiers in a specific county, the uptake of those in the priority group in getting vaccinated, and the logistics and timeline for use of the vaccine so that no doses go to waste, counties may be in different tiers in administering vaccine to their population.
