Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Health announced that Hoosiers age 80 and older will be eligible to register for a free COVID-19 vaccine.
Individuals age 80 and older account for less than 4 percent of the state’s population but represent more than 19 percent of the hospitalizations and more than half of the COVID-19 deaths in the state, according to the Indiana Department of Health. Indiana has received just over 350,000 doses of vaccine to date and is scheduled to receive about 78,000 vaccines per week at this time.
Hoosiers age 80 and older can register beginning at 9 a.m. Friday, January 8 by going to ourshot.in.gov, searching for a nearby vaccine clinic, and selecting an appointment time. Appointments may also be made by calling 211. A caregiver or loved one may make an appointment on behalf of an
eligible senior.
At least one vaccine clinic will be located in each Indiana county. Appointments for the second dose will be made at the clinic when the first dose is administered.
Additional groups, such as those based on underlying health conditions, will be added as the vaccine becomes available. Updates will be posted at ourshot.in.gov.
