Douglas County Health Department
If you don’t meet the requirements to be a VFC/COVID vaccine provider and you aren’t on staff at a medical system, you will need to get the vaccine from the Douglas County Health Department when it becomes available. You can bring it to your practice and you can administer it to your staff (DCHD will oversee the cold chain storage of the vaccine and assist with registration/data entry) or they can administer the vaccines to your staff for you. Call 402-444-3400 to be added to this list.
The Metro Omaha Medical Society, in partnership with the Douglas County Health Department, is working to identify non-VFC practices and gather information regarding their staffing and vaccination practices. This information will be used in DCHD vaccination planning, including the COVID-19 vaccine.

The purpose of this survey is to assess the number of healthcare staff working in your clinic/practice who you anticipate will be vaccinated for COVID-19. Because of the logistical issues and requirements of the Nebraska COVID-19 vaccine response team, they need some specific information about your facility.
