The Indiana State Department of Health officially expanded the COVID-19 eligibility Wednesday which makes residents 16 and older eligible to sign up for a free COVID-19 vaccine. The expansion makes more than 1.3 million additional people eligible to receive a vaccine.
People scheduling appointments may experience waits during periods of high volume. Vaccine appointments will extend over the next several weeks to align with expected vaccine deliveries to the state. Individuals seeking an earlier appointment are encouraged to look at openings in surrounding counties.
To schedule an appointment, visit https://ourshot.in.gov and select a location from one of more than 530 clinics around the state. Residents who may need assistance scheduling an appointment can call 211 or contact one of Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging or AARP.
Individuals age 16 and 17 are only eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine and should search for a site that lists PVAX or ask 211 for a site offering the Pfizer vaccine. Locally, the Pfizer vaccine is available at the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center campus in Plymouth and at Pulaski Memorial Hospital.
Vaccination clinics that are part of the federal vaccine program, including those at Meijer and Kroger, appear on the clinic map at https://ourshot.in.gov, but are scheduled through those retailers’ platforms, not through the state centralized system.
