Woodward, OK (January 5, 2021) – Local Health Departments in Oklahoma are making COVID-19 vaccination a top priority to protect community health.
“We are excited to provide the vaccine to community members,” said Terri Salisbury, Regional Administrative Director for Oklahoma State Department of Health District 1. “We urge all Oklahomans who are eligible to get the vaccine as soon as it is available to them. Our staff is working diligently to provide the vaccine to all individuals who are eligible. While individuals need to remain diligent in their COVID precautions, the vaccine is viewed as light at the end of the tunnel.”

Future announcements will be sent to local media about who will be eligible at the vaccination events each week. Updates will also be posted on each County Health Department’s Facebook page. OSDH expects to open up quickly to other populations in Phase 2 as more vaccines are received.
“We definitely have a sense of urgency based on what our medical partners are seeing in the hospitals due to this virus.” Salisbury said. “Please help our healthcare system by continuing to wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance as these are still key components of minimizing the spread of COVID at this time.”
