Wood County Health Department and Wood County Committee on Aging are hosting a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Wood County Senior Center, located at 140 S. Grove St. in Bowling Green, on March 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Appointments are limited and must be scheduled in advance. Call the Wood County Committee on Aging at 419-353-5661 for an appointment, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are available.
Adults aged 65 and older are now eligible to receive an additional dose of the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine, which first became available in September 2023. The CDC recently recommended an additional dose for people 65 and older in recognition of the increased risk of severe disease from COVID-19 in older adults, along with the currently available data on vaccine effectiveness.
Participants with insurance are asked to bring their insurance card and insurance will be billed. No payment will be collected at the time of vaccination. People who do not have insurance or whose insurance does not cover the vaccine will not be charged.
The mission of Wood County Health Department is to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles and protect the health of everyone in Wood County. The Community Health Center provides comprehensive medical services for men, women and children. All patients are welcome, including uninsured or underinsured clients, regardless of their ability to pay, and most third-party insurance is accepted.
