Indiana State Department of Health news release advising of the weather’s impact on COVID-19 vaccination clinics:<\/p>\n

Health Department responds to inclement weather’s impact on vaccination clinics<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Indianapolis, Indiana (February 15, 2021) \u2014 The Indiana Department of Health announced today that Hoosiers who have COVID-19 vaccine appointments scheduled this week should be aware that inclement weather could impact clinic operations. The state is working with local vaccination sites to reschedule appointments as needed.<\/p>\n

Individuals whose appointments are impacted will be notified by email or text message about the need to reschedule, which can be done by calling 2-1-1. The state is working to ensure that Hoosiers who are scheduled to receive their second dose of vaccine still receive the dose within the appropriate timeframe. A second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that is administered within 42 days of the first dose still provides full immunity to COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

Hoosiers age 65 and older, along with healthcare workers, long-term care residents and first responders who are regularly called to the scene of an emergency to render medical assistance, are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. To schedule, visit https:\/\/www.coronavirus.in.gov\/vaccine\/<\/a> or call 211 if you do not have access to a computer or require assistance. Individuals must show proof that they live or work in Indiana and meet the eligibility criteria to receive a vaccine.<\/p>\n
