On The Record
COVID-19 vaccine pre-registration continues in Lane County
Lane County Public
Health has opened up
pre-registration for vac-
cination to all members
of the public.
This pre-registration
information effort will
help populate a cen-
tralized database to
help vaccinating health
partners
countywide
contact those who wish
to be vaccinated and
schedule an appoint-
ment when they are el-
igible.
You can pre-register
online in either English
or Spanish right now at
www.lanecounty.org/
covidvaccine
Important things to
consider when pre-reg-
istering:
• We encourage any-
one who has internet
access to pre-register on
the online portal.
• If you have a friend
or loved one who does
not have internet ac-
cess, or has difficulty
navigating the internet,
we encourage you to
please help by assisting
them in pre-registering
online.
• We will have phone
pre/registration avail-
able in coming days.
• You only need to
pre-register once and by
only one method (either
phone or online, not
both to avoid duplicate
entries).
• If you have already
registered with a pro-
vider or with your
workplace, please Do
Not register again with
the County’s database.
We are all working from
the same information
and doing so will slow
down our process.
• If you are part of
Phase1a and have not
heard from Lane Coun-
ty Public Health or a
local provider to receive
a vaccine, please DO
re-register using the
new link.
• If you provide an
email address you will
receive an email con-
firmation that your
registration has been
received.
• Pre-Registering to
receive the vaccine Does
Not mean you will be
contacted to schedule
an appointment right
away. We will still follow
Oregon Health Author-
ity eligibility guidelines
and as always, our time-
line to get you vaccinat-
ed depends on supply.
In other words, even
if you are eligible it may
be some time before we
have enough doses to
offer you a vaccination
appointment. You pa-
tience is deeply appre-
ciated.
• Please remem-
ber, Lane County does
not determine which
groups are eligible.
• Once you have
pre-registered, we ask
that you not call the call
center with additional
registration questions
unless you believe there
is a critical error in your
registration.
• This process is not
first come, first serve.
We will be working
from the phases and
eligibility guidance pro-
vided by the Oregon
Health Authority.

You may be putting off planning
funeral arrangements and waiting
for the “perfect moment.” When the
perfect moment never comes, your
grieving family is left to plan your
funeral without your input.
Rather than leaving your loved
ones to make rushed financial and
emotional decisions, take control
of your final wishes. We can help
you reflect on how you want to be
remembered and help guide you
through every decision.
If not now, when? Call us today and
our team can help you get started.
