The Indiana Department of Health will host a vaccination clinic today at the City of Greenwood.
The clinic is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 333 S. Washington St.
The vaccine is free, but patients will be asked to submit insurance information because clinics can charge an administration fee to their insurance.
Individuals ages 5-17 must receive the Pfizer vaccine. An adult must accompany children ages 5-15 to the vaccine appointment. If the adult present is not the parent or guardian, consent must be submitted in advance. For anyone ages 16-17, it’s preferred that a parent or guardian accompany the minor to the vaccination site. If that is not possible, the parent or guardian can provide written or verbal authorization.
Individuals ages 18 or older may choose to receive the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines both require a second dose to be fully protected, which will be scheduled during the first dose.
Boosters are strongly recommended for those who are:
- 12 and older and completed their primary vaccination series of Pfizer at least 5 months ago.
- 18 and older and completed their primary vaccination series of Moderna at least 5 months ago or completed their primary vaccination of Johnson and Johnson at least 2 months ago.
IU Health offers free rides to any vaccine site in the state. Call 1-888-IUHEALTH (1-888-484-3258) and choose option 9.
