Upcoming Drive Through Vaccination Clinic for Clark County

Sunday, January 10th, 2021 -- 9:23 AM

The next drive-through vaccination clinic for Clark County will be on Thursday, January 14th, located at the Greenwood Area Fire and EMS Department, 103 Cannery Street, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM for frontline healthcare workers.

Please do not arrive prior to 11:30 AM for safety and traffic purposes. “We plan to take our  experiences from the first drive-through vaccination clinic to help improve our process to vaccinate as many people as possible,” stated Kelsey Wussow, Lead Public Health Nurse.  At this time, vaccines are not available for the  general public.  Clark County Health Department (CCHD) has been allotted 170 doses of the Moderna vaccine for the week of 1/11/2021.

Appointments are not necessary; first come first serve. Please closely watch the CCHD’s Facebook page and the Clark County website. If our vaccine supply is getting low, we will post a notice on both of these sites. 

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.

A second dose will be reserved for individuals receiving their COVID-19 vaccine with the CCHD on January 14th at a future clinic, which is tentatively scheduled for February 11th.  Healthcare workers will be required to provide proof of employment of affiliation (ID badge, recent paystub, etc.) and a driver’s license (if applicable), prior to receiving the vaccine. 

Please follow the instructions listed online which includes 3 simple steps:  review, complete, and print (if able) the fillable COVID-19 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; and review V-Safe Information Handout; and review FAQ About COVID-19 Vaccination: What Vaccine Recipients Need to Know.  Please bring the following items with you to the vaccination clinic: driver’s license (if applicable; proof of employment or affiliation (ID badge, recent paystub, etc.); and completed COVID-19 Administration Record. 

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.
