COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling Information

COVID-19 vaccines are available at the Medina County Health Department. Residents may schedule an appointment by calling us at 330-723-9688, option 1. If you aren’t sure which vaccine you or your child is eligible for, visit CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination schedule for a visual summary of which vaccine you or your child can receive.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. Read more about the vaccine and timing on the CDC’s website.

If you’ve had COVID-19 or a previous COVID-19 vaccination, it’s still important to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations

The CDC reminds us that vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19 -related hospitalization and death. Vaccination also reduces your chance of suffering the effects of Long COVID. If you have not received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past 2 months, it is recommended to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine for best protection.

Due to the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration, manufacturers are charging for vaccines, but most people should still be able to get them for free.

  • If you have health insurance: Vaccination should be free. Check with your provider for details specific to coverage and any potential vaccine costs.
  • If you don’t have health insurance: Options are available to still get vaccinated at no cost to you. Call us at 330-723-9688, option 1, to get more information on available options.

As with all vaccines administered to the public, the COVID-19 vaccines have successfully proceeded through the following steps for approval:

  • Lab development
  • Three phases of clinical trials
  • Assessment of clinical trial results by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • Development and approval of vaccine recommendations through the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the CDC

Ever since the vaccines were initially distributed, many systems continue to monitor and track outcomes from COVID-19 vaccines to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
