The State of Alaska today updated its eligibility guidelines for the COVID-19 vaccine. New groups of individuals who are now eligible are:

• People 55 years and above
• People 16 years and above who have certain medical condition
• People 16-49 who are frontline essential workers
• People 16 years and above who live in a multigenerational household with 3 or more generations, or “skipped” generations (e.g., a grandchild living with an elder).

See full eligibility criteria and details on the State of Alaska Vaccine Eligibility webpage or take this eligibility quiz.

These groups are currently eligible to sign up for the March 13 vaccine clinic at Centennial Hall organized by Juneau Public Health Center, Bartlett Regional Hospital, Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, and City and Borough of Juneau. Make an appointment online at juneau.org/vaccine. Eligible individuals who do not have internet can call 586-6000 to make an appointment.

Make an appointment only if:

• You are eligible to receive a vaccine under the updated guidance.
• You are available for a second dose at Centennial Hall April 3.
• You are an Alaska resident who is currently living in Juneau and have physically been in the state for at least five days prior to the clinic dates, March 13. If you have returned to the state within five 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.

People with appointments should bring a photo ID to the clinic. After checking in and getting the vaccine, you’ll be monitored for 15 minutes for any adverse reactions. Appointments for the second dose will be made at the clinic. Everyone at the clinic is required to wear a mask. There is no cost for the vaccine or the administration of the vaccine.

In addition to getting vaccine at the clinic, there are local providers in Juneau also distributing vaccine by appointment to eligible individuals. Not all providers will have appointments at any given time, but more appointments open when vaccine becomes available. See a list of other providers here.
