Indiana

Currently in Indiana, those over the age of 40 can schedule an appointment to get the COVID vaccine. And you must be a resident of Indiana to be eligible to get the vaccine. There is at least one vaccination clinic in each county. To see a map of vaccination locations, click here.

Indiana residents age 40 and older may register for a COVID-19 vaccine by visiting ourshot.in.gov or by calling 211 from your mobile phone. Call 1-866-211-9966 from a landline. Do not contact your local health department to make the appointment.

If you are over the age of 18 and have a risk factor, you can register to be on the COVID-19 Vaccine Call List at this time. A list of risk factors is on that Vaccine Call List page.

Teachers and staff are also now eligible to get vaccinated through the state program. Teachers who are 40 years old and over are now eligible for a vaccine by appointment through the federal partners at Walmart, Kroger and Meijer.

Officials say it’s important that you get the second dose at the same facility that you received your first dose. This is for record keeping purposes. It helps the system gage the demand in each county as vaccines roll out to more people.
