The Three Rivers Public Health Department (3RPHD) continues to align with state vaccine phasing and calendar estimations. 3RPHD does remind the public that it is fluid and can change at a moment’s notice.
The state has updated its 1B prioritization list (please see the pdf below). Anyone concerned with where they are at in phasing is asked to be patient and there will be significant communication released with each phasing shift.

3RPHD has been in Phase 1B since the week of January 24, 2021, and was first allotted 900 doses. The department just received last week’s allocation that was delayed due to weather and road conditions yesterday and received 1,400 doses.
All 3RPHD residents over the age of 18 that have not registered, please do so now at vaccinate.ne.gov. Registration is simple and takes less than a couple of minutes. If you have already registered, rest assured, you are on the list and do not need to register again.
If you need help registering, call either of these numbers: 833-998-2275 or 531-249-1873. The Spanish version will be coming soon.
“We are excited to be getting additional doses into the health jurisdiction and we continue to work with our community partners to vaccinate those that are 65+. The allocations for last week that we received yesterday included: Methodist Fremont Health (500 doses), Saunders Medical Center (200 doses), Memorial Community Hospital and Health System (200 doses), Ashland Pharmacy (30 doses), Scribner Drug Store (20 doses), and Three Rivers (450 doses),” said Three Rivers Public Health Department Executive Director Terra Uhing.
Sadly, 3RPHD is announcing three new COVID-19 related deaths. A Dodge County man in his 80s and two Washington County men one in his 70s and the other in his 80s. This brings the total death count to 68 deaths in Dodge County, 17 deaths in Saunders, and 23 deaths in Washington County for a total of 108 deaths in the 3RPHD health district.
As a reminder 3RPHD updates the community risk dials each Wednesday, and the 3RPHD Data Dashboard is updated each weekday and can be found at
