COVID-19 Vaccine Sign-Up for Phase 1B - First Responders & People Aged 70+

covid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This includes: nonmedical first responders such as police and fire; corrections workers, education – grades K-12 as well as pre-K educators located in a school, people 70 and older.

If you are a nonmedical first responder, work in corrections or education (K-12), your appointment will be scheduled through your employer. You do not need to take any additional action.

For individuals age 70 and older:

Click here to request a vaccination appointment. Please read the directions below before filling out the form.

  • Complete ALL fields for faster service.
  • Please only fill the form out once.
  • Be patient! The list is long but we are working through it as quickly as possible. You will hear from us (LouVax)!
  • Direct additional questions via email to COVIDvaccine@louisvilleky.gov

CLICK HERE to find information on where to go for your vaccination, a description of the process, and answers to other questions. 

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 will allow us to worship together, reopen schools, and return to work in person. Choosing to be vaccinated helps you and your loved ones stay safe. It helps our community’s most vulnerable members to be protected against this pandemic and the social isolation that comes along with it.

COVID-19 is still spreading in our city. We are experiencing a record number of cases, and, unfortunately, deaths. Until most of us can be vaccinated, wearing a mask and keeping our distance and limiting where we go is still essential to protecting ourselves, our families, and our communities. Even as we celebrate the development of safe and effective vaccines, these safety measures - including staying home when you may be sick - remain crucial parts of our effort to eliminate this pandemic

Volunteers

WE NEED YOU! We began administering Moderna vaccines at Broadbent Arena on January 4th. We need volunteers to assist. All are welcome – not just clinical volunteers like nurses (but we need those too)!

Who can help? Volunteers must be 18 years or older and submit to a background check.

What will I be doing? Administering injections is limited to licensed clinicians only, but there are roles for everyone, including greeters, check-in staff, support staff, observing patients, and more!

Volunteer here

Can I get a vaccine? Those who serve 40 hours or more will be eligible to receive COVID vaccination from LouVax.

Vaccine Distribution Task Force

The Louisville COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force was announced on December 15, 2020. It’s goal is to ensure the equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine to all individuals living in Jefferson County who wish to be vaccinated. Read more here
