DHD#10 hosts COVID-19 vaccine clinic for residents 65+ Friday.

District Health Department #10 is hosting a First Dose COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for residents 65 and older this Friday, March 5, at all 10 DHD#10 offices. 

The local DHD#10 office is located at 916 Diana St. in Ludington.

Sign up for the clinic is online and vaccine supply is limited, so eligible individuals are encouraged to sign up right away, even if you are currently on the waiting list. 

 “Many of our 65+ COVID-19 vaccine waiting lists are nearing the end, but based on census data, we know there are still many individuals in this category that have not signed up to receive the vaccine,” stated Kevin Hughes, DHD#10 Health Officer. “Our staff has had trouble reaching many who are on the waiting list also, so we wanted to host a clinic to accommodate our seniors who haven’t received their vaccine yet.” 

 This vaccine clinic is for individuals 65 and older only. Anyone who signs up that does not meet this requirement will be canceled. This is for the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine only. Individuals will be scheduled for their second dose at this clinic.

 Go to www.dhd10.org/schedule and read the instructions and information carefully before scheduling. Please note that if there are no times available when you select the date, then the clinic is full. Not every senior has access to the internet, so DHD#10 encourages everyone to reach out to family, friends, and neighbors to assist them with scheduling online.
