criteria for Phase 1A, we will contact you with instructions on how to
schedule an appointment. Walk-in appointments are not available at any site.

While Phase 1A focuses primarily on protecting healthcare providers, the
focus of Phase 1B is to vaccinate those at high risk and have K-12 students
back in the classroom by March. Individuals who are eligible for the vaccine

New COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center
The City of Cleveland has established a call center that is currently
available to answer general questions pertaining to the City's vaccine
distribution efforts and assist eligible individuals in scheduling an
appointment to receive the vaccine.    

*	Call Center Number:  (216) 664-2222
*	Hours of Operation:   Monday-Friday; 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

As a reminder, only individuals who meet the Ohio Department of Health's
criteria are eligible to receive the vaccine at this time.  Due to limited
supply, it will take time for eligible individuals to receive the vaccine.
We ask for your patience.  As we receive additional supply, we will be
opening up additional vaccination sites and scheduling appointments for
eligible individuals to receive the vaccine.

There are important steps that we must take to slow the spread: stay home
whenever possible, limit our interactions, wash hands frequently, maintain
six feet of social distancing and most importantly wear a mask.  Together,
we can protect ourselves and our loved ones and slow the spread of the
coronavirus in 2021.

 Thank you and stay safe,
