The United Way and Monterey County say they will use their 2-1-1 call system to help people lacking internet access make COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
Monterey County United Way CEO, Katy Castagna, made the announcement during Monterey County’s health conference meeting Wednesday afternoon.
She says the appointment scheduling help desk would begin helping those without internet access secure appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine beginning the week of February 15.
Castagna says the hours will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
A firm date has not been announced, however, Castagna says they hope to have the call center for this service up and running early in the week.
