Greene County Public Health is having a coronavirus vaccine clinic for high school students and the general public on Saturday in Xenia.

The Pfizer vaccine, which is authorized for ages 16 and older, will be administered at the Public Health office, 360 Wilson Drive, behind Greene Memorial Hospital.

The clinic is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. by appointment.

Patients can sign up for the vaccine by visiting https://gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov/. To find the vaccine clinic, put “Xenia” or the zip code into the search bar and click on “Greene County Public Health - Greene County Health Department”.

Once an appointment is scheduled the patient will be emailed a confirmation code. Patients should bring the code to their appointment.

A parent of guardian must attend the vaccine clinic if the patient is 16 or 17 years old.
