Hoosiers 30 and older now eligible for COVID vaccine.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP/WRSW) — State officials have opened up COVID-19 vaccination eligibility to all Indiana residents 30 and older and announced a push to vaccinate up to 100,000 people in the state’s heavily populated northwest and other areas.

If you would like to get yourself scheduled for a vaccine, visit the IDPH Vaccine website or you can call 2-1-1. Locally, you can call the local hotline run by the Bowen Center at 574-347-4256, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM. The Bowen Center hotline is bilingual in both English and Spanish.

The Indiana Department of Health said Monday the state’s latest vaccine expansion makes the vaccine available to more than 840,000 additional Hoosiers.

Gov. Eric Holcomb also announced Monday that a drive-through clinic with the capacity to administer 2,000 COVID-19 vaccines a day would operate April 7 through June 2 in Gary. An additional 1,000 vaccine doses per day will be allocated to mobile units that will host clinics in the region.

Vaccine eligibility will open for those 16 and older starting on Wednesday.
