The Elkhart County Health Department is also looking for healthcare professionals AND non-healthcare volunteers to assist with upcoming COVID-19 vaccine clinics.

As of 3/31, ALL HOOSIERS over the age of 16 can register for the COVID-19 vaccine by calling 2-1-1 or 574-523-2106 or visiting vaccine.coronavirus.in.gov. Meijer, Kroger, CVS, and Walmart also have vaccine appointments available.
