MARQUETTE — Marquette County Health Department staff will be calling residents 65 and older from the COVID-19 vaccine pre-registration list on Monday and Tuesday for vaccine appointments on Thursday and Friday, the department announced Friday.
There will be around 1,100 appointment slots available, officials said.
Staff will contact registrants based on their place on the list, using both online and phone registrations. The health department asks people who have pre-registered to pay attention for a phone call from 906-475-9977 or a similar number. Staff will make two attempts to call, leaving a message on the first attempt so the call recipient is prepared for the second call. If the call is missed, the registrant’s name will remain on the list for the next round of appointments.
