COVID-19 Vaccine by Health Care Providers
Primary care providers will be an avenue to get vaccinated as more vaccine becomes available.
Agnesian HealthCare patients interested in receiving notification of COVID-19 vaccine availability are
encouraged to sign up for an online MyChart account. Signup is available at MyChart.ssmhc.com.
“Agnesian HealthCare appreciates that people are eager to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccines, but
requests people refrain from calling their health care provider for information to keep phone lines open
for patients who are experiencing symptoms or have acute care needs,” according to Missy Tate, Agnesian
Work & Wellness director.
It will take time for everyone who wants a COVID-19 vaccine to get one.   Until and after COVID-19 vaccines are broadly available, the CDC continues to recommend that people
take all the necessary precautions to prevent getting or spreading COVID-19:
 Stay at least 6 feet away from other people when possible.
 Wear a mask.
 Wash hands often.
 Stay home if you feel sick.
The combination of a vaccine and these prevention measures will help the community in an eventual
return to normal.
