Butte County Public Health Opens Vaccinations to Persons 50+ for Individuals who Live or Work
in Butte County
BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. – Butte County Public Health (BCPH) is expanding COVID-19 vaccine eligibility
to persons 50+ who live or work in Butte County. This change is effective immediately for the first
dose community vaccination clinics.
Book an appointment at one of the following community vaccination clinics:
Chico Community Vaccination Clinic
March 22, 23 & 24 | Silver Dollar Fairgrounds | Persons 50+ and all other approved sectors
All vaccinations are by appointment only. Those who need assistance or do not have internet, may
call the Enloe scheduling hotline at (530) 332-9520 or the County COVID-19 Call Center at (530) 552-
3050.
Book online at: MyTurn.ca.gov
Please note: Due to a current limitation within the State’s online scheduling system, MyTurn,
persons who are 50+ will need to check the ’65-74’ age range option to get the scheduling process
started. You will then be prompted to enter your date of birth at which time you will enter
your actual date of birth (the 65-74 age option is only to get the process started, use your real date
of birth after that point). Your date of birth will be used to verify eligibility when you arrive at the
vaccination clinic.
Oroville Community Vaccination Clinic
March 24 & 25 | Oroville Sports Club | Persons 50+ and all other approved sectors
All vaccinations are by appointment only. Those who need assistance or do not have internet, may
