COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Businesses

Thank you for your interest in learning about the COVID-19 vaccine. Please fill out this survey so that Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services can keep you and your business updated on the local availability of vaccine. When the vaccine is available to you and your employees, we will be able to contact you with further instructions on where and how to get vaccinated.

Please note that we are following state guidelines on prioritizing populations to be vaccinated. Some employees may qualify sooner than others based on their age, job duties, living conditions, or health history. Filling out this survey does not guarantee you and your employees get a vaccine, but does provide a way for our department to contact you when doses are available.

For more information, please visit our COVID-19 vaccine webpage.
