UPDATED PHASE 1B PRIORITY TIERS
The COVID-19 vaccination plan for the Phase 1B prioritization group has been updated by IDPH today to include anyone age 65+; in addition, there are now sub-prioritization tiers within Phase 1B. Please see the attached infographic and from IDPH.
Phase 1B is still scheduled to begin on February 1st, following these new guidelines. We hope to start scheduling appointment times and community clinics the week of January 25th. If you have internet access, please check our Facebook page or website at www.louisacountypublichealth.com before you call for an appointment; we will have an online scheduling option available on those sites. Those without internet access may call our office to schedule an appointment at 319-523-3981.
Please be patient with us! Phase 1B is a large group of eligible people, however, vaccine remains in limited supply. If appointments are full and you are unable to schedule online, please do not call our office. This will mean appointments are full for the amount of vaccine we are scheduled to receive; we will continue to open up more days for appointment scheduling as doses arrive.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to get doses to you as soon as we possibly can.

Louisa County Public Health (LCPH) offers a wide variety of services to approximately 11,300 residents. LCPH nurses and staff members have been providing public health and Medicare Certified in-home nursing services to the residents of Louisa County since 1967.
We provide nurses and home health aides, who take care of individuals in their homes, homemakers who provide assistance in the home, immunization clinics for children and adults, blood pressure clinics and Environmental Health Services. LCPH educates and protects our community through programs that promote environmental safety, healthy life choices, safe food, and disease control. We also have a loan closet that has medical equipment available for county residents to use.
The State of Iowa has imposed stricter guidelines regarding the vaccines we use for childhood immunizations. The vaccine we have available is for children with no insurance or children with insurance that does not pay for vaccines or children on Medicaid. Parents need to call their insurance companies to check vaccine coverage and if their policy does not pay for vaccines we can administer the vaccine. We do ask for a $5 donation per vaccine to cover administration cost.

Louisa County Public Health is devoted to assuring effective resources for the health of our communities.
Vision:
Louisa County Public Health supports and facilitates the Board of Health efforts to promote and protect the health of residents of Louisa County, in accordance with the vision and principles established by Iowa Department of Public Health.
