FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 1, 2021
Public Health to Pivot Away from COVID Vaccine Notification
BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. – Now that COVID vaccine appointment scheduling is available online, Butte
County Public Health (BCPH) will stop taking registration for the COVID vaccine e-mail notification.
Residents who have previously registered will continue to receive an e-mail notification when they
are eligible to get the COVID vaccination.
For the week of February 1-5, all available vaccination clinics in Chico have been filled.
Moving forward, COVID vaccination clinics will be announced to the public for online self-scheduling.
These appointments will be on a first come, first serve basis. Announcements will be made through
the local media, on the BCPH COVID vaccine website and on social media. Residents who do not
have access to the internet, may call the COVID call center for assistance scheduling their vaccination
appointment.
While the vaccine remains highly prioritized, proof of age and ID will be required for age specific
vaccination clinics. As Butte County is allocated more doses of the vaccine, more clinics will be
scheduled. It’s important to understand that while a specific group may be eligible for the vaccine,
that does not mean that there are enough doses available to vaccinate every person in that group
right away.
