The following information is current as of February 24, 2021.
The COVID vaccine has been delivered in time to avoid canceling any clinics. We are working with community partners to call individuals on the registration list who are eligible. Please DO NOT CALL Geauga Public Health for an appointment at this time.
We have already received and administered more than 3,600 doses of vaccine.
We are working on a scheduling tool that is expected to be ready soon. Until that tool is ready, we will be using our pre-registration contact list to call eligible people to schedule an appointment. Please share your contact information with us using the tool found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GPHCOVID19Vaccine. This tool is NOT a reservation or a guarantee of an appointment.
In partnership with G-TV, we have started a weekly Local Public Health video update.
