Now that the COVID-19 vaccine is widely available and vaccine clinics are slowing down, District Health Department #10 (DHD#10) is scheduling first-dose clinics each Tuesday in all ten local offices.

Starting next week, Tuesday clinic times are 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 1:30 to 6:20 PM and walk-ins are welcome.  All three vaccines, Pfizer (for 16+), Moderna (for 18+), and Johnson & Johnson (for 18+) are available. Second doses of Pfizer and Moderna will be scheduled at your first-dose clinic.

To schedule an appointment online, go to www.dhd10.org/schedule. If you do not have access to a computer or the internet, please call 888-217-3904. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome during Tuesday clinic days.

Meanwhile, the Central Michigan District Health Department will be holding several COVID-19 vaccine clinics in the coming days.

Appointments are available on: Wednesday at Hayes Township Hall in Harrison, Thursday at the Reed City Church of the Nazarene for those 18 and older, and Friday at Standish-Sterling High School in Standish. That clinic is for ages 16 and above but no walk-ins will be accepted.

Walk-ins are welcome at the other sites. The public is encouraged to schedule a first dose vaccine appointment online.
