COVID-19 Vaccination Registration Process: To assist you in the online vaccine registration process, the Health Department has created an eligibility prescreening form to gather contact information that will be used to communicate vaccination clinic registration information. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the registration process.
COVID-19 Vaccine Update: We know many are eager to learn when they can expect to receive the vaccine. The Cecil County Health Department, in collaboration with ChristianaCare, Union Hospital and the Cecil County Department of Emergency Services, is currently working to vaccinate individuals in Priority Group 1A (healthcare workers, first responders, and residents and staff of long-term care facilities) as well as adults ages 65 and older. Unfortunately, the supply of vaccine is still extremely limited. Please check our website and social media platforms regularly for updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we move forward with this effort.
