Reminder: Clark County Holding Next COVID Vaccination Clinic Tomorrow

Wednesday, April 21st, 2021 -- 1:01 PM

The Clark County Health Department is holding the next COVID-19 drive-through vaccination clinic this Thursday, April 22nd.

The clinic is being held at the Greenwood Area Fire and EMS Department and is by appointment only.  The clinic is open to anyone age 18 and over.  Everyone age 16 and over are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, but only Pfizer vaccines are approved for those aged 16 and 17 and the Health Department will be administering the Moderna vaccine.

The Health Department is transitioning to every other Thursday for their COVID-19 vaccine clinics. Thus, any tentative 1st dose appointments will be available every other Friday. The next tentative availability for 1st dose appointments will be announced on Friday, April 30th at 2:00pm.

Those tentative 1st dose appointments will be for a Thursday, May 6th clinic.  Sign up for appointments here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4-22-21-clarkcountydrivethroughclinic-2.  If appointment slots are already full, please do not call the CCHD or their local partners.

The CCHD is not able to keep waiting lists at this time.  Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to your appointment time for safety and traffic concerns.  Sign up for 1 quantity per person that would like to receive the vaccine.

For example, if there is a husband and wife coming to the clinic together, sign up for a QTY of 2.  Please sign up for a time slot by 3:00pm on the day prior to the drive-through clinic. Those who do not sign up by 3:00pm are not guaranteed a vaccine.

Those who make an appointment, be prepared to sign-up for an appointment for your 2nd dose exactly 4 weeks later while you receive your 1st dose at the drive-through clinic.

You will not be guaranteed your 2nd dose if you are unable to make an appointment exactly 4 weeks later. Please consider not signing up for an appointment if you are unavailable exactly 4 weeks later.

Please follow the instructions listed online which includes 4 simple steps including review, complete, and print (if able) the fillable COVID-19 Vaccine Administration Record. (Please consult with your medical provider if needed prior to receiving the vaccine for any questions you may have); review the Moderna Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Fact Sheet for Recipients; review the V-Safe Information Handout; and review FAQ About COVID-19 Vaccination: What Vaccine Recipients Need to Know After Receipt of a COVID-19.

Please bring the following items with you to the vaccination clinic including completed COVID-19 Vaccine Administration Record and, for 2nd Dose Individuals, the Vaccination Record Card (Hard Copy).

Please wear clothing that will easily allow the RN’s to administer the vaccine (t-shirt or a long sleeve that can be easily rolled to the upper arm to gain access to the deltoid muscle).  You will be required to wait in your vehicle for 15 minutes post-vaccination for monitoring purposes.

EMS will be on-site and assisting with the monitoring. Expect a potential wait time. Thank you in advance for your patience.  If you are unable to make your appointment due to inclement weather or personal reasons, or arrive after the clinic hours, you will not be guaranteed your dose.

You will have to schedule another appointment at a future CCHD COVID-19 vaccine clinic or reach out to your local healthcare provider, pharmacy, etc. As a reminder, those who are planning on receiving their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccination must receive it from the same manufacturer.

Those who receive the Moderna vaccine must wait 28 days from their first vaccination before receiving a second dose, and those who receive the Pfizer vaccine must wait at least 21 days.

The CCHD may have limited availability at future drive through clinics due to a combination of 2nd dose administration appointments, staffing capacity, and allotted supply of vaccine. Individuals should watch for future press releases regarding new appointment availability.

Those who do not have access to the internet may call the CCHD vaccine appointment line at 715-743-5105, select option 9, then select option 9 again starting Friday afternoons at 2pm. High call volumes are expected. Calling and leaving a message does not guarantee you an appointment.

The CCHD encourages those who don’t have access to the internet to have a family member or friend monitor online resources. For updates on future clinics, eligibility, and other vaccination options, please visit the Clark County vaccine website.
