COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics:

When and where to be vaccinated:

There are many opportunities in Ohio to be vaccinated in your community, whether you walk in to get your booster dose or make an appointment with a nearby provider. Vaccination locations include pharmacies, federally qualified health centers, doctor’s offices, community vaccination sites, and local health departments. There is ample supply of vaccine for boosters, as well as first and second doses, for Ohioans. Check gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov to find a nearby vaccine provider with the COVID-19 vaccine product needed and to schedule an appointment. You can visit the following types of providers to be vaccinated:

• Most pharmacies offer either walk-in or scheduled appointments.

• Local health departments in some of Ohio’s largest cities offer special community vaccination sites, and health departments in virtually every county are prepared to offer booster doses, including to homebound individuals.

• Community health centers and participating primary care providers offer booster doses.

• Some hospital systems or networks offer booster doses.

Parental consent required:

Children younger than age 18 who are not emancipated must have parental or legal guardian consent for any vaccine. A parent or legal guardian generally should accompany the minor to receive the vaccine, unless the administration of the vaccine occurs in a physician’s office, school-based or school-associated clinic setting, or similar setting.

For long-term care facility or congregate living residents and staff:

Facilities will administer vaccines to residents and staff; specifically, nursing homes and assisted living facilities will use Ohio’s COVID-19 Vaccine Maintenance Program, and state-owned institutional settings and veterans homes will vaccinate eligible staff and residents.

Bring your vaccine card:

Ohioans are encouraged to bring their existing COVID-19 vaccine card to be updated. If you cannot find your vaccine card, you should first contact your original vaccine provider to ask if they can locate your records. If the provider is unable to assist, please contact your local health department. If the health department is unable to assist, please review this information on how to mail a request for your vaccination records to the Ohio Department of Health. You will not be able to obtain a new vaccine card by request, but will be able to access your vaccination records. If you do not have your original vaccine card, you can still receive your booster dose.
