County of Orange Update – As of 1/11/21
COVID-19 Vaccine Phase of Distribution
ACTIVE PHASE IN OC
Phase 1A
ALL TIERS + PEOPLE AGED 65+ With the limited supply of vaccines, the County of Orange is following the State of California’s guidance and framework for fair and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines. See phased approach HERE.
The success of the County’s implementation of the phased, tiered vaccination plan depends on everyone being patient and allowing priority groups to be vaccinated first.
Currently, appointments at SuperPOD locations will be provided only to the following prioritized groups:
- Phase 1A populations (all tiers)
- Law enforcement working in high-risk settings
- Adults age 65 or older
- Addtionally Pfizer vaccine is only for those age 16 or older, and the Moderna vaccine is only for those age 18 and older
Overwhelming the appointment system will make it even more challenging to dispense the limited supply of vaccine currently available. As vaccine becomes more plentiful, additional appointments will become available, and eligibility will open up to other groups.
How to Get Vaccinated
Individuals who live or work in Orange County, CA can register online through www.Othena.com to view available appointments and to keep informed with upcoming availability.
Othena is a vaccine scheduling system created by CuraPatient, in conjunction with leading health care experts and public health agencies.
