Private and

Both public COVID-19 vaccine clinics have started, but expect spots to go fast.

If you’re eligible to get a vaccine, no central system exists at this point for registering and for a while you should expect that appointments will book up fast because of limited supply. More appointments will open as more vaccines are distributed.

You can go to vaccine.coronavirus.ohio.gov to search by county or zip code for a provider near you.

Many clinics are already booked through this week. By 10 a.m. Friday, Public Health-Dayton & Montgomery County said its appointment slots for the coming week were all taken.

No local clinics offer walk-up vaccinations at this time.

For this week, clinics are only making appointments for individuals eligible under Phase 1B, and some are only accepting appointments for those 80 years and older currently. Depending on the location, some are let- ting eligible people register for the future while others aren’t taking new appointments for now.
