COVID-19 vaccine provider locations search
The state has a map where you can search to find which of the more than 1,200 vaccine providers in Ohio are located near you: vaccine.coronavirus.ohio.gov.
Note: Look at the provider’s website in advance before seeking a vaccine. Availability changes day-to-day and almost all require appointments in advance.
Local vaccine clinics
For a while you should expect that appointments at local vaccine sites will book fast because of limited supply.
Depending on the location, some are letting eligible people register for future appointments or for alerts, while others aren’t taking new appointments until their next shipment arrives and don’t have a waitlist. More supply will arrive each week and more appointments will open as more vaccines are distributed.
If you signed up for multiple waitlists, please cancel other requests after you secure an appointment with a provider. No-shows and extra waitlist names can make scheduling harder for others.
