The Knox County Health Department (KCHD) has launched an online portal to register for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Currently, health care workers, first responders, and those 75 and older are eligible. .
KCHD said they will be receiving 975 doses of the vaccine on Friday, Jan. 22. But those appointments have been filled.
More appointments will be opened when KCHD receives more vaccines. Use this link to make an appointment.
The portal to sign up for the vaccine is different than the one for the rest of our local counties that are managed by the Tennessee Department of Health. Sign up for those appointments here.
When you sign up on KCHD’s portal, you will be asked to verify they meet current eligibility requirements. After reviewing eligibility requirements, individuals will see vaccine clinic locations, schedule blocks and available appointments within those blocks. From there, selecting the appointment and providing necessary personal information will work just as a number of other common appointment scheduling sites work.
At your appointment, you will need to verify your employment. A work badge that shows a name and/or photo or your age with a photo ID works.
