HOLLAND (WTHC-AM/FM) — Allegan and Ottawa counties’ health officials tell WHTC that people with appointments to get vaccines this afternoon can do so.
Ottawa County had cancelled morning appointments because of the winter storm and dangerous driving conditions.
Anyone set to get vaccinated today, Friday, Feb. 5, 2021, should plan on extra travel time as well as the post-vaccine wait required to make sure there are no negative reactions to the shot.
Anyone living or working in Allegan County interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine should sign up through the “I Want the COVID-19 Vaccine” form on www.allegancounty.org/covid. If you are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine and still in need of an appointment, please be sure to check out some partner organizations—Meijer Pharmacy, Spectrum Health Zeeland, and the West Michigan Vaccine Clinic.
Signing up for a vaccination means that a dose of the vaccine, a time-slot in the schedule, and the staffing to deliver that vaccine are all saved for you. Making vaccine appointments for multiple sites does direct harm to others by delaying their access to the vaccine. ACHD asks that you consider the health of your community when making a vaccination appointment. The fewer resources lost through double booking, the faster everyone in the community can have access to the vaccine.
People who need help can call the ACHD COVID-19 Hotline at (269) 686-4546. Learn more at vaccinatewestmi.com or michigan.gov/covidvaccine.
