The Role of RCMS in COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

1/6/2021

 
Picture
RCMS has no control or say on the priorities on who receives the COVID-19 vaccination, on the number of doses and when received, or on the vaccine type to be used.

The State of California and the County Health Departments control these decisions.

RCMS is taking proactive steps in having people sign up for a COVID-19 vaccination interest list to provide information that will place them into different priority tiers established by the State.

To sign up:
www.surveymonkey.com/r/KYGPTVS (English)
www.surveymonkey.com/r/RR7XJMN (Spanish)

This information will be used when Mendocino and Sonoma County Health Departments allocate the vaccines. As RCMS receives the vaccines it will schedule vaccination appointments using the lists generated from the links above.

As of today, RCMS has received 77 vaccine doses and all have been given to individuals in Tier 1a. RCMS has received no information on the number of doses it will receive in the future or when they will arrive.

As reported in the news, the United States is behind considerably in COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

Your political representatives are the people to whom complaints on the process should be sent.

This is the current situation, but things are constantly changing as additional decisions are made at the State and County levels. We will keep the community informed. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your comment and support of RCMS. We understand your interest in getting the vaccine. RCMS is rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine per the guidelines of the State and County. We are currently vaccinating in Phase 1 populations with vaccines provided by Mendocino County. Please make sure you fill out the vaccine interest survey so we have your information available as we move through the phases. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KYGPTVS

Will you be notifying people in the community when the vaccines are available according to their age? Medical condition? Etc?
And If we have signed up on the survey will we be receiving an email notifying us of our position on the RCMS vaccine list?

Vaccines are available according to the guidelines outlined in our latest post at https://www.rcms-healthcare.org/news/covid19-mass-vaccination-clinic-at-gualala-community-center-on-january-16-and-17-2021. The people who have taken the survey will be contacted through the information provided in the survey. At this time there is no way to notify you of your position on the vaccine list because there are several factors for making that determination and because the supply of vaccines available is not controlled by RCMS. While the survey is the best way to reach out, we understand that not everyone has access to computer or internet and we are taking steps to reach out to those assumed to be in the Tier 1 category. We are also asking that if you know someone that needs assistance, to please help them fill out the survey.

RCMS is an asset and the staff a treasure. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. I know that is what you all are working for.
