On Friday, March 12th in Ashland, there will be a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinic at University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center on East Main Street from 9:30 am to 3 pm.
There is no guarantee of availability – its first come first served for those age 70 and older and a resident of Ashland County. You will need to bring along proper identification to the clinic, which is being organized with help from the Ashland County Health Department.

University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center kept busy Friday distributing COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of people. We are going to give 400 shots, said Kathy Witmer, director of communications and development, early in the day. They will not get wasted.
First-responders who didn t receive their first dose yet, as well as local residents 80 years old and older who signed up to receive their first dose, received the vaccine at Friday s clinic.
Samaritan, Drug Mart and the Ohio Department of Health worked together to provide residents the vaccine for the first round of Friday s public clinic at Samaritan. Our first meeting to coordinate this was Tuesday, Witmer said. We have pulled this together in a really short period of time.
