Lake County has introduced the AllVax Portal to notify residents once a COVID-19 vaccine is available. In a statement, the Lake County Health Department encouraged people to register so as to stay updated.
“We want to assure our residents that their safety is our top priority," Health Department Executive Director Mark Pfister said in a statement. "The COVID-19 vaccines that will be available soon have gone through extensive clinical trials. The trial results indicate remarkable effectiveness in preventing COVID-19 with low risk of serious side effects. This is an exciting moment in science and an important step toward ending the COVID-19 pandemic, which has come at great cost to public health, our healthcare systems, and our economy,” he said.
AllVax Portal also has coronavirus FAQs and one can schedule their vaccine appointments there. The Health Department promised fair distribution of the vaccine starting with high-risk groups and they will be assisted by the Centers for Disease Control.
