COLUMBUS, Ind. — Columbus Regional Health is preparing for the final week that it will offer first doses of COVID-19 vaccines at its standalone clinic near the hospital campus.
The clinic, at 1702 Keller Ave., has been operating at reduced hours over the past few weeks as part of a plan to gradually phase out vaccinations there and start offering shots at primary care clinics by August, CRH officials said.
The last day for first doses is July 9, with the last official day of the clinic will be July 30 to allow health officials to administer the remaining second doses.
Before this month, the vaccination site had been operating Monday to Saturday since the initial doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Bartholomew County in December.
Appointment and walk-in hours will be posted online at crh.org/vaccine.
“We’re transitioning to giving the vaccine more in primary care clinics, so just more of a traditional distribution method,” said Dr. Slade Crowder, Columbus Regional Health vice president of physician enterprise operations and associate chief medical officer at CRH.
