Keystone Rural Health Consortia & Vaccine Requests
Please be patient.
If you have already submitted your vaccine request form, you do not need to take any further action. We are doing our best to meet the needs of our patients and the communities we serve based on guidance from the Dept. of Health. Please know that although we would like to accommodate every request for a vaccine that we receive, we are not able to do so at this point. We are diligently working our lists and scheduling vaccines. Please stay safe and continue to follow social distancing and wear your mask!
As you can imagine we are being inundated with hundreds of requests, please do not reach out directly to staff, we are unable to take personal requests. Please continue to complete the Vaccine Request Form on our website. http://www.keystoneruralhealth.com
