United Way has convened vaccine providers from across the Blackhawk Region to create a new website that will serve as a one-stop-shop for COVID-19 vaccination information.
Healthcare providers and public officials are working diligently to keep our community apprised of vaccination updates, yet the sheer volume of information coming from so many different sources can make it difficult for folks to know where to begin.
Working closely with nonprofit leaders and our partners in health care, United Way began to envision a user-friendly website where local residents could easily be connected to information specific to their individual needs.
With a collective goal of attaining herd immunity and getting as many shots in arms as possible, United Way Blackhawk Region is thrilled to announce the collaboration and launch of RockCountyShot.com.
The centralized website will provide clear, easy answers to the most frequently asked questions about getting the COVID-19 vaccine, including: eligibility, safety, cost, provider details and appointment instructions, registration / registry links, and more.
United Way has always fought for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community, and has been active in our region’s response to the pandemic since the initial outbreak.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, this collaborative website and promotional efforts is funded by a $10,000 grant from United Way Blackhawk Region’s COVID-19 Action Fund. Additional outreach totaling $5,000 has also been allocated by HealthNet Rock County from a State of Wisconsin grant to raise awareness and access to COVID-19 vaccine among traditionally marginalized communities.
RockCountyShot.com is yet another example of what we can accomplish when thoughtful, caring community members come together. United, we want to help rebuild healthy, strong and equitable communities.
