COVID-19 vaccine provider locations search
If you’re eligible to get a vaccine, no central system exists at this point for registering.
The state has a map where you can search to find which of the more than 700 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 up 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 wait list. More supply will arrive each week and more appointments will open as more vaccines are distributed.
The following is not a comprehensive list, but here are some of the major vaccine providers in the area that you can check with:
- Kettering Health: Check ketteringhealth.org/coronavirus for announcements and to schedule an appointment when one becomes available.
- Premier Health: Check premierhealth.com/vaccine for announcements and when appointments are available.
