Help County prepare for future COVID-19 vaccine by taking this survey

My wife and I are both 82, and she is in very weak condition.

Thank you for your inquiry about COVID-19 vaccines, and we're sorry to hear of your wife’s condition. Given that condition, you may wish to call the Orange County Health Care Agency’s COVID-19 Hotline at 714-834-2000, or their Health Referral Line at 800-564-8448.

According to California’s COVID-19 vaccination plan (available at https://covid19.ca.gov/vaccines/), adults over 75 who are not in a long-term care facility are designated as a part of the “Phase 1B” tier, and vaccinations are currently underway for Phase 1A. The Orange County Health Care Agency has posted information and resources through the following link:

You also may wish to consult with your primary care physician/healthcare provider and the location where you normally have your prescriptions filled.

My wife and I qualify under 1B1 77 yrs old
Where do we sign up for the vaccine?
Where do we report to?
Why is there not a sign up list for Mission Viejo
or Orange County?
Thank you,
Richard and Carol Meyers

Thank you for your comment. In addition to the links and phone numbers noted in the response above, for vaccine questions you also may wish to contact the Orange County Emergency Operations Center Public Information Hotline, which is available at 714-628-7085, Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

My 97 year old mother lives alone at Costa del sol in Mission Viejo. She does not have access to the internet to let her know when Phase 1B will start. How will she be able to find out how and when she can receive the vaccine? Should I direct her to call the 714-628-7085 phone number starting in February?? I live out of state and am trying to assist her from long distance. Thank you for your time.

The 714-628-7085 number you noted is the Orange County Emergency Operations Center Public Information Hotline, and staff is available Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm to answer questions. You may wish to call that number sooner than February as the County is currently in the process of setting up “Super Pod” vaccination sites, which will be operational soon. Super Pods are large vaccination sites that will supplement hospital, pharmacy and private clinic vaccination efforts. Once the Super Pod sites are operational, the Orange County Health Care Agency will be disseminating that information on the Hotline and their website.

My husband I are 75 and are trying to find when and where we can register for the COVID vaccine.

I am 77, retired from the navy. Where and when can I get the covid vaccine in Mission Viejo?

Currently (January 13, 2021) COVID vaccines are not available in the City of Mission Viejo unless your healthcare provider has them available - you may wish to check with your personal doctor.

The countywide COVID-19 vaccination program is being managed by the County of Orange Healthcare Agency. As a senior, you can register for your spot in line to receive a vaccine and you will be contacted when an appointment is available. The "Supersite" at Disneyland is currently providing vaccines however they have received more requests than vaccines are available. We would recommend you follow this link to get registered so you can be in line for your vaccine:
