About 4,000 first dose slots are available for Tuesday, while second doses will go out on Wednesday for the 3,000 residents who were vaccinated February 23rd.
Vaccinations will begin at 6 a.m. on Tuesday. Citizens with second dose appointments on Wednesday should arrive at the Expo at the same time they received their first dose.
Those receiving vaccines are asked to bring a form of ID, a completed consent form, and a vaccination card if they received one at their first visit. Consent forms are available at www.localevent.info, along with a complete listing of eligibility. Forms can also be picked up at the Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library.
Residents in the 1A, 1B and 1C vaccination tiers can sign up for their first vaccine dose at the subHUB by visiting https://wacounty.saferestart.net.
Officials at the subHUB say now that vaccine shipments have become consistent, first doses will continue to be administered on Tuesdays and second doses on Wednesdays. Second doses will be done 29 days from the date of the first dose; a resident can count 29 days from the date of their first dose on a Tuesday to determine the date of their second on a Wednesday.
An automated message will go out if this schedule changes or if shipments are delayed. Residents will also continue to get automated messages reminding them of their first and second dose appointments.
