UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:

  • Covid Vaccination Clinic at MHP: MHP will start administering the Covid 19 vaccine next Friday, 1/15/21. The vaccine distribution plan is being managed by the State Dept of Health. Hoosiers age 80 and older who are now eligible are encouraged to continue to check the sites throughout the day. The vaccine registration site, https://ourshot.in.gov, is designed to put visitors into a holding queue when volume is high. That can contribute to longer wait times or an error message, but Hoosiers should be able to check back at a later time to access the system. Individuals who are having difficulty registering online can also call one of Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging for help with registration. A caregiver or loved one also may make an appointment on behalf of an eligible senior. At least one vaccine clinic will be located in each Indiana county. Vaccines are free, but insurance may be charged an administrative fee. Appointments for the second dose will be made at the clinic when the first dose is administered. Additional groups, such as those based on underlying health conditions, will be added as vaccine becomes available. Updates will be posted at https://ourshot.in.gov.
