Safety & Effectiveness

After rigorous testing and FDA approval process, three COVID-19 vaccines are authorized and available in Bay County and throughout the United States. All Michigan residents age 16 and up and now eligible for the vaccine, so please register now! The vaccine is safe, effective and our best defense against the virus.

Thank you for your patience as we work diligently to get every vaccine we receive administered as soon as possible – and remember, it’s important for all of us to: social distance, wear masks, wash hands, and follow other Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services guidelines.

 

Vaccine Registration Hotline

The Bay County Heath Department COVID-19 Vaccine registration hotline is now live. Citizens who do not have access to the internet may now call 989-308-1828 to register for the COVID-19 vaccine through the Bay County Health Department and Department on Aging.

 
The call center will be open Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM. If you call and aren't able to speak with an operator or are calling after hours please leave a message with your name, phone number, and a good time to receive a return phone call.

We ask that those who have access to the internet still register via our online survey. Please do not call the hotline with questions regarding vaccinations or to schedule a vaccination. This hotline is for registration only. If you already filled out the survey online there is no need to call the hotline.
