Where can I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are in short supply. However, several hospitals and retailers are offering shots this week to Ohioans ages 80 and older, as supply is available: • University Hospitals is registering portions of the public for COVID-19 vaccinations. Register at vaccine.uhhospitals.org. Vaccinations are by appointment only at the UH Management Services Center, 3605 Warrensville Center Road, Shaker Heights. • Mercy Health Lorain Hospital and Mercy Health Allen Hospital in Oberlin will offer vaccinations, according to the Ohio Department of Health. Vaccine scheduling through Mercy is closed now, however, "due to extremely limited supplies," said the hospital system's website Wednesday. "Please do not call or email for an appointment." • Giant Eagle has started delivering the COVID-19 vaccine to customers at locations in North Ridgeville, Amherst, Sheffield, Vermilion, Avon Lake and Elyria. Visit www.gianteagle.com./covid to schedule an appointment. Company Vice President Vic Vercammen said Giant Eagle understands "the inevitable frustrations that many will feel as appointments across Ohio fill up quickly. Please know that Giant Eagle remains in close contact with health officials at the county and state levels and we expect to receive additional shipments of COVID-19 vaccine in the days to come." • Meijer is taking registrations from residents interested in getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
