Due to an increase in vaccine allotment, the Department will move to 1,000 doses available per day.

Health officials are urging those who are eligible to go to www.ourshot.in.gov to schedule a vaccine appointment especially if their first dose of vaccine was scheduled for mid-March or later.

Individuals currently eligible are those 60 and older, healthcare personnel, first responders, and long term care staff and residents.
