Area health departments are working with local schools to get as many students and staff vaccinated as possible against COVID-19, before school gets into full swing.
The Pickaway County Public Health is partnering with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to get K-12 students up to date on their vaccines. Nationwide Children’s Hospital Mobile Vaccine clinic: August 9th and 10th from 8:45am-2:30pm. Call the health department at (740) 477-9667 to schedule and for more details.
The Ross County Health District is working with several schools to provide onsite clinics for the students, staff, teachers, and anyone who would like to get vaccinated. They have a clinic Thursday, August 5th at Chillicothe High School from 6pm-8pm. Additionally, they are working to schedule a clinic for Zane Trace and Huntington school districts and are willing to do likewise for other Ross County schools wanting the same access. Ross Health also has walk-in appointments available at their office.
As of Tuesday in Pike County, they reported on their Facebook site that the health department was having current communication issues. “We have had an influx of phone calls for requests for vaccine appointments and additional calls for COVID-19 information from newly diagnosed patients and their contacts. Today, our phone lines crashed for reasons currently unknown. We have a possible ETA fix for tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. In the meantime for the public, we have a 24/7 emergency answering service, private messenger through social media, and email at info@pikecountyhealth.com.”
For other area counties, contact your local health department for details.
