General Information for Receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine from Douglas County Health Department:
- There is no cost for the vaccine.
- If you've had any vaccine in the past 14 days please do not attend a COVID vaccine clinic until the 14-day time frame has expired.
- If you've tested COVID in the past 90 days, it is recommended you still receive the COVID vaccine.
- If you are pregnant, please consult with your medical provider before presenting for the vaccine.
- These clinics are not open to any other group (including family members) other than those with a scheduled appointment.
COVID TESTING - Your primary care doctor is the best resource to recommend locations providing for COVID-19 rapid testing. Additionally, you can reference the Douglas County Health Department website for names of facilities that provide rapid testing. Resources for testing will fluctuate at locations, so we recommend calling/scheduling a visit to ensure a test can be administered before you go.
COVID testing is covered 100% under the District's insurance benefit regardless of in-network or out-of-network testing location if the covered individual is symptomatic.

CHI Health released the following announcement: CHI Health is fully prepared, stocked and staffed to care for the community should the COVID-19 spread across the Midwest. Our teams at all of our locations frequently train for this very scenario, and we have plans in place to handle infectious diseases, including COVID-19. In fact, as part of CommonSpirit Health, one of the largest health systems in the country, we already have patients under our care in other states and are able to learn from that experience in addition to having the ability to tap the resources and expertise of those who are on the front lines caring for patients.
How those questions are answered will determine what happens next.
You may be directed to more information, to Virtual Care or to our Help Line. Calling that number that will connect you with a CHI Health employee who will collect additional information and contact a physician or advanced practice provider.
