System is committed to the health and wellbeing of all communities that they serve and would like to provide some information about COVID-19 vaccinations. Tri Valley Health System is partnering with Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department to host vaccination clinics when the vaccines are available. Tri Valley Health System is not able to order vaccines, but they will receive allocations in the future to be able to distribute. At this time, they do not have any information when they will receive these vaccines. Short notice is given of the arrival of these vaccines so Tri Valley Health System will be communicating these vaccination clinics on the Tri Valley Health System Facebook page and www.trivalleyhealth. com. If time allows, Tri Valley Health System will communicate these clinics through the newspaper, radio, and TV. Sign ups for the vaccination clinics will also be held through an online sign up platform. Tri Valley Health System asks everyone’s cooperation and assistance to help communicate and sign those up who may not have online access.
