WOOD COUNTY, Ohio — As the COVID-19 vaccine remains in demand but in limited supply, the Wood County Health Department will be directing vaccines to seniors facing barriers when it comes to accessing the shots.
The health department is working with the Wood County Committee on Aging to target doses to those eligible during Ohio's Phase 1B at an increased risk, who also face obstacles to access the vaccine because of transportation issues or other factors.
This will help ensure that those who may not otherwise be able to obtain the vaccine will receive protection from COVID-19.
Appointment availability through the Wood County Health Department may be limited throughout the next few weeks due to the limited amount of doses they are receiving weekly.

Other providers in Wood County will continue to receive allocations as well and their scheduling and registration differs from the health department. Contact information for those providers can be found at Vaccine.WoodCountyHealth.org.
