COVID-19 vaccination info for Regence community partners

As more people become eligible for COVID-19 vaccines and doses are more readily available, Regence is committed to supporting timely and equitable vaccine distribution for all. This commitment includes collaboration with our valued community partners to educate local communities, address vaccine uncertainty and remove barriers to access to ensure every individual has the opportunity to obtain a vaccine for themselves and their family.
State health departments are in charge of vaccine distribution and setting eligibility requirements, and those differ slightly depending on the state. We are committed to helping people know when and where they can get the vaccine as well as helping answer their questions about the vaccine’s safety and efficacy, how it was developed, and the role vaccines play in the health of our communities.
Below is a list of trusted resources to help, which we’ll continue to update as information becomes available. You can also visit regence.com and the Regence Newsroom for more about COVID-19.
