CCHD will host another “Drive-Thru” style COVID & Flu Vaccination Clinic on Wednesday, October 13^th from 1pm-4pm in the parking lot of the former campus of Southern State Community College (SSCC) located at 1850 Davids Drive in Wilmington. Individuals should pre-register for a vaccination time slot at this link: https://bookclintonvax.timetap.com/#/.

“The 7 day forecast looks promising for another outside clinic”, said Pamela Walker-Bauer, Health Commissioner “This style clinic is convenient, especially for members of our community with mobility issues.” 

This CCHD clinic is supported by the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management Agency, and Engineer’s Office along with Southern State Community College and community volunteers.

Other Clinics:  CCHD and our community volunteers will also provide COVID & Flu vaccinations in the following locations next week: Wilmington Nursing & Rehabilitation, Prairie View Apartments, Nike Center (Board of Developmental Disabilities), Bill Marine Ford, Ohio Living Cape May, Blanchester Schools, and the Holiday Inn Roberts Center. These clinics are specific to those organizations and not open to the general public. If you have questions about these clinics, please contact the administration of those organizations.

• People ages 50 to 64 with certain underlying medical conditions SHOULD receive a booster shot.
