INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosiers age 70 and older can now begin scheduling appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The Indiana State Department of Health announced Wednesday that the age for vaccine eligibility has been lowed to 70 from 80.

Those who qualify can make appointments by visiting https://ourshot.in.gov. Those who need assistance with registration can call 211 or one of Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging.

ISDH has said a caregiver or loved one also may make an appointment on behalf of an eligible senior.

More information on the vaccine and the COVID-19 virus can be found here.

More information will be provided during Governor Holcomb’s weekly press conference at 2:30 p.m. today. The press conference will be live-streamed live on WLFI.com.
