The Ross County Health District is moving the vaccination clinic for second and first doses of the COVID-19 Vaccine to Ohio University – Chillicothe’s Shoemaker Center. This clinic is by appointment only.
Shoemaker Center allows the health district to have multiple vaccination stations and a designated socially distanced observation area for after the vaccine has been administered. This space will be beneficial once they start to vaccinate the general population and when more vaccine is available to the county.
The health district is currently able to schedule those in the 75 and older age group. Those in Ross County who are 70 and older will be able to receive vaccine starting week of February 1st, 2021.
Ohioans 65 years of age and older will be able to receive vaccine starting the week of February 8, 2021.
Just because a new age group begins does not mean that the previous age group is vaccinated. There are more providers in the area that community members can contact to schedule an appointment such as Adena, Kroger Pharmacy, Allen’s Pharmacy and Hopewell Health Centers.
RCHD is working through a prioritized registration list and contacting individuals to schedule their appointment with RCHD. If you receive an appointment through us that means we will have vaccine available when you come in to the clinic. Employees of K-12 schools will receive information on the vaccine and registration from their school administrators.
The number of vaccinations RCHD can administer depends heavily on the amount of vaccine received by the state. Please email the health district at information@ rosscountyhealth.org if you have any questions.
Do they have the Vaccines and when should you be called if you are registered?
There will be a registration link for your age/job category to register, then you will be notified on appointment time to be vaccinated. These are currently being done by appointment only in Chillicothe.
