Hennepin County Unaffiliated Healthcare Providers Process Communication
Hennepin County Public Health is preparing to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to unaffiliated health care workers located in Hennepin County, including your employees. “Unaffiliated health care workers” is defined as all remaining healthcare personnel that are not included in the first and second priority groups that are unable to telework in accordance with MDH guidelines. Vaccinations are being offered to eligible groups of health care workers who fall into Phase 1A priority 3, in accordance with MDH vaccine prioritization guidance.
Due to the currently limited supply of vaccines, all people who wish to be vaccinated by Hennepin County must have an appointment. To facilitate the appointment scheduling process, the County is now collecting employee email contact information. This will allow the County to send personalized registration links to schedule appointments as vaccine doses become available.
