Hoosiers age 55 and older now can make an appointment to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Indiana State Department of Health announced Tuesday that recent federal use approval for the one-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine â along with the 53,900 doses of the new vaccine expected to arrive in the state this week â ensure Indiana will have a sufficient of number of doses of all three COVID-19 vaccines to reduce the minimum eligibility age to 55 from 60.
Appointments to receive the free immunization must be made online at ourshot.in.gov, or by calling 211.
A friend or family member may make an appointment on behalf of a person age 55 and older. But the person registered must be an Indiana resident and may be required to provide photo identification before he or she is given the COVID-19 vaccine.
