Vaccines open up to 70 and older

Most of the State of Indiana remains in red, including Washington County, but hopefully the vaccine will lean the state toward orange and hopefully yellow.

Hoosiers age 70 and older are now eligible to register for a free COVID-19 vaccine.

 Hoosiers can register for the vaccine by visiting ourshot.in.gov and selecting an appointment time. Those who do not have access to a computer can call 211 to register from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including weekends. Caregivers or loved ones may make an appointment for an eligible senior.

The Maderna vaccine is administered in two doses, 21-28 days apart, and is available at no cost. At the first appointment, Hoosiers will be required to schedule a time for their second dose. Individuals must bring their photo ID to the appointment.
