COVID-19 VACCINE REGISTRATION OPEN FOR LA COUNTY RESIDENTS AGED 65 AND OLDER
Los Angeles County residents who are 65 years old and older can now register for COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
Residents in this high-priority age group should visit http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/vaccine/hcwsignup/ to schedule their appointments, which will begin Wednesday, January 20, 2021. Residents who don’t have computer access may call (833) 540-0473 between 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. for assistance with reservations.
The vaccine supply is still extremely limited, and Los Angeles County continues to urge patience as we work urgently with our federal and state partners to expand capacity and supply in the weeks ahead.
To ensure that people at higher risk of transmission and illness are vaccinated first, Los Angeles County has established a tier system. In addition to those 65+, priority for current vaccination is going to frontline health care workers and residents and staff at skilled nursing and long-term care facilities.
This strategy works to protect our entire community by ensuring that our most vulnerable and most critical healthcare workers do not get sick.
The opening of appointment registration for a new tier today comes as the County opens five large capacity vaccination sites across the County.
