If you meet the criteria group list above and are interested in receiving the vaccine please pre-register by filling in all of the information on the REGISTRATION FORM.      You only need to register once.

 Utilizing the above link is the preferred method for registration, but for those without a computer or smart phone, or someone to help them register online, we can accept calls 8am-5pm at 307-789-9203 for Evanston residents to sign up.  Bridger Valley residents can call 307-787-3800 to sign up.

 Individuals in Phase 1b who are eligible to receive the vaccine should expect a delay in vaccination as the amount of vaccine continues to be limited. We are scheduling as many individuals as we can based on vaccine supply.  More vaccine will be available in coming weeks and additional clinics will be held as additional vaccine arrives.

We are very excited to be at this stage of vaccine distribution!  Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to efficiently and fairly distribute vaccine.  We will communicate through Code Red and other forms of media.

COVID-19 has hit all of the United States hard, and in ways we didn’t think possible.  We are all getting weary of the worry and concern for our neighbors and our families.  Having empathy is a good thing, but as everyone knows, too much of a good thing can be hazardous to your health.  The longer this public health threat is around, and the constant ups and downs within our County and State, the more we are likely to be overwhelmed.

It’s easy to say don’t let it get to you, but for some this is easier said than done.  There is help in Uinta County if you just want to talk to someone that can help you sort it out.  Mental Health providers are standing by to give  you a confidential ear.  You don’t have to handle this on your own, you don’t have to listen to other people’s ideas about this outbreak, you have a right to speak to someone who is objective and will listen if you will talk.  We have compiled a list of Mental Health providers who will be there for you - today, and for as long as you need them.  Just click on the word list and make a phone call to get started.
