Stories of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle
Jefferson County COVID-19 Resources
All West Virginia residents over the age of 16 are encouraged to register with the West Virginia Vaccine Registration System (click here). This is the “everbridge system” and replaces all of the county-specific registration systems. Even if you put your name on a county waitlist, you should register in the state system.
Jefferson County has announced that it will be scheduling vaccination appointments from the state list (“everbridge”) only, starting March 8. It will begin scheduling for residents ages 50+ on that list (while still prioritizing ages 65+ who also sign up on that list).
For anyone due to receive the second dose of vaccine, the Jefferson County Health Department will be calling you to schedule your appointment. Please do not show up at the health department on the due date written on your vaccination card. That will not be the date of your appointment.
WVU Medicine is working with local health departments to offer a COVID-19 vaccine clinics. Currently open to WV residents age 50 and older. The WVU Medicine vaccine clinics are appointment only. Details on times and locations are available as part of the appointment registration process. You must register directly with WVU Medicine to make an appointment. Registering with WVU Medicine will not remove you from the state list.
