Shelby County Health Dept. opens vaccine standby list
SCHD rolls out new feature with hopes of improving vaccinations By Kelly Roberts | January 26, 2021 at 5:40 PM CST - Updated January 26 at 6:12 PM
SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. (WMC) - Shelby County is expecting thousands more vaccines in the coming weeks. More appointments are opening, but a new feature also lets you get on a standby list for a COVID-19 vaccine.
Tuesday the Shelby County Health Department rolled out Vaxqueue. When you click on the link you can enter your information and get on a list to receive word of any last-minute unused vaccine.
“A standby list like this is pretty similar to a standby list for plane travel,” said Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris. “This list will likely involve some waiting, and because of limited supply there are no guarantees.”
