PeaceHealth contacting patients for vaccination

Because of the short supply of COVID-19 vaccine at the moment, PeaceHealth will contact patients to set up vaccination appointments. PeaceHealth asks that people do not call or visit clinics to schedule appointments.

“When vaccine is received, PeaceHealth will reach out to patients whose health record indicates they are eligible to schedule vaccine appointments, starting with those who are most medically vulnerable,” PeaceHealth said in a Thursday news release.

PeaceHealth will not schedule vaccine appointments for patients unless it has vaccine available, and PeaceHealth is committed to securing required second doses for patients who receive a first dose from PeaceHealth.

When vaccines are available, PeaceHealth will contact patients by phone or email through its My PeaceHealth patient portal, whose medical record indicates they are eligible, starting with those at higher health risk.

If you are a PeaceHealth patient or have visited a PeaceHealth location in the past, you are encouraged to sign up for a My PeaceHealth account or log in to your existing account to ensure your contact information is up-to-date at my.peacehealth.org.

PeaceHealth continues to follow state guidance to vaccinate health care workers, first responders and other Phase 1A community members as quickly as possible in Washington. PeaceHealth will broaden its outreach to Phase 1B-1 as more vaccine supply is made available.

Visit its website for the latest updates on vaccine eligibility and availability, and sign up to receive notifications on vaccines at peacehealth.org/vaccine.
