At this time, AHN does not have any COVID-19 vaccination appointments available, however, we are reaching out directly to our highest-risk and most vulnerable populations. If the small number of appointments allocated for these groups are still available 24-48 hours before the appointment, they will be released within AHN MyChart. AHN may have a VERY small number of these appointments available every morning. In addition, appointments that patients have canceled may also show up at random intervals for scheduling within MyChart. Please keep checking our Facebook page for the latest updates on when we expect to release next week’s appointments and visit our website for more information about our vaccination rollout plan. www.ahn.org/coronavirus #AHNTeamVaccine
