The vaccine is now available for public sign-up if you fall under the phase one or phase two categories.<br \/>\nThe eight counties (Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Ottawa, Rogers, Wagoner, Washington) in the Oklahoma State Department of Health\u2019s District Four have extended the vaccine to the public aged 65 or older.<br \/>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s very fortunate that we were one of the first ones to get the rollout, and I know the entire state of Oklahoma will be glad when we\u2019re all vaccinated,\u201d said Albert Jones, Wagoner mayor.<br \/>\nYou don&#8217;t have to be a resident in region four to sign up for the vaccine when more appointments come open because if they have the doses, they want to get it to as many people as they can.<br \/>\n\u201cWe did have some set-aside appointments that addressed phase one and first two tiers of phase two to make sure that they got the vaccine,\u201d said Jessica Milberger, District Four regional public information officer. \u201cWe can&#8217;t wait and stop until every single person in a certain tier or certain phase has received the vaccine otherwise it\u2019ll take years to get to everyone.\u201d<br \/>\nThe only place to sign up for the vaccines is on some of the counties&#8217; Facebook pages as they post them on a first-come, first-serve basis. As of now, all of the appointments are completely booked. Milberger and the OSDH are asking for patience as they work out the best way to get the vaccine to the public.<br \/>\n\u201cIt really just is this process that we&#8217;re all trying to figure out,\u201d said Milberger. \u201cAnd we\u2019re trying to get the information as quickly out to people.\u201d<br \/>\nMilberger says that it&#8217;s a fluid situation as to when they\u2019ll have more appointments available depending on when and how many doses they get from the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.ktul.com By James King &nbsp; With COVID-19 vaccines still being distributed to health care workers in Tulsa, some Green Country counties are already opening up their doses to parts of the public.
