What are your thoughts about the COVID-19 vaccine? Tell CBJ in a short survey.

To better understand the community’s attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine, the City and Borough of Juneau is conducting a survey now through April 11 on juneau.org/survey. The short questionnaire is available online in English, Russian, Spanish, and Tagalog. The public can also find and submit paper copies at all three branches of the Juneau Public Libraries, Bartlett Regional Hospital, and City Hall. CBJ appreciates the community’s participation in this effort; the survey takes about five minutes.

The data collected will only be used for research, and individual answers are anonymous. The results of the survey will be made available to the public once the survey has closed and answers have been analyzed. Take the survey here.

Next COVID-19 vaccine clinic is April 5-8; registration opens Monday, March 22 at noon

Juneau’s next COVID-19 vaccine clinic is April 5-8 (10 a.m. – 2 p.m.) at Centennial Hall. Vaccinations are by appointment only. Anyone age 16 and up who lives or works in Alaska can sign up. Appointments can be made starting this Monday, March 22, at 12 p.m. on juneau.org/vaccine. The public is encouraged to sign up online; those without internet can call 586-6000 to make an appointment starting March 22 at 12 p.m.

Important notes before making an appointment:

  • You must be available for a second dose at Centennial Hall 21 days after your first dose.
  • The clinic is for individuals age 16 and up who live or work in Alaska, and have physically been in the state for at least 5 days prior to April 5-8. If you have returned to the state within 5 days of the clinic dates, and therefore strict social distancing per CBJ ordinance, do not make an appointment. Strict social distancing cannot be maintained at the clinic.
  • An additional clinic will be occurring on April 9 at Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé and Thunder Mountain High School for all Juneau students who are 16 years old or older. Additional details are forthcoming early next week and directly to parents through the Juneau School District.
  • If you signed up for the March 23 clinic waitlist, you are NOT automatically signed up for this April 5-8 clinic. You will need to make an appointment for the April 5-8 clinic to be guaranteed a vaccine.
  • If you’re making an appointment on behalf of someone who doesn’t speak English, email [email protected] or call 586-6000 ahead of their clinic appointment so translation services can be arranged.

After checking in and getting the vaccine, you’ll be monitored for 15 minutes for any adverse reactions. Second-dose appointments for April 26-29 will be made at the clinic. Everyone is required to wear a mask.

The clinic is organized by Bartlett Regional Hospital (BRH), Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, Juneau Public Health Center, SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, and City and Borough of Juneau.
