Local hospitals and health departments are changing tactics to reach those still unvaccinated.
“The days of the large COVID clinics are coming to an end,” said Nick Cascarelli, Wayne County health commissioner.
As fewer people book vaccine appointments, health departments in Ashland, Wayne, and Holmes counties are transitioning to more walk-in clinics and pulling back on vaccine orders.
Supply is no longer the issue to getting more people vaccinated.
“It’s not an availability issue,” said Shirley Bixby, nursing director at the Ashland County Health Department. “I think the entire state is seeing saturation” of vaccine doses.
Local health agencies also are holding private clinics for businesses to vaccinate their employees and reaching out to schools to administer vaccines to students as younger age groups become eligible.
WOOSTER Anyone who wants a COVID-19 vaccine can simply walk into one of Wayne County s six upcoming clinics to get the shot.
Wayne County Health Department will host walk-in clinics at four locations over the next month that will not require an appointment. Three clinics will be held in Wooster, with clinics also scheduled for Doylestown, Mount Eaton and West Salem.
