COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Health Department had 1,300 COVID-19 Moderna vaccine doses available Saturday in a mass vaccination clinic at the fairgrounds.
Appointments were scheduled every 10 minutes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Pavilion building for the Moderna vaccine, which requires two shots at least 28 days apart for individuals to be fully vaccinated.
There was no cost for the vaccinations although health officials requested individuals bring a photo ID and an insurance card if they had one.
The Moderna vaccine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for those age 18 and older. Indiana currently is allowing those age 16 and older to sign up for vaccine appointments, but only the Pfizer vaccine is approved for 16- and 17-year-olds.
