HANFORD â A new way for residents to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments will be available soon in Kings County.
On Thursday, the Kings County Department of Public Health announced it will transition to the state-mandated MyTurn, a website platform used to schedule vaccine appointments online.
The California Department of Public Health piloted the website in two Southern California counties and is now working on its implementation across the state.
Currently, only health care workers in Phase 1A and individuals 65 and older from Phase 1B of the stateâs Vaccinate All 58 tiered system are eligible to schedule appointments through MyTurn.
KCDPH officials said the system will allow for appointment scheduling among additional populations as more vaccines become available.
