COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Vaccination against COVID-19 is the best way to help prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.  COVID-19 vaccines are widely available, including at the Scioto County Health Department.  The following links provide excellent resources for information about COVID-19 vaccines.

The Scioto County Health Department offers COVID-19 vaccines for the general public, ages 6 months and older, on a walk-in basis in our clinic, located at 612 6th Street (lower level), Portsmouth, OH 45662.  Our walk in schedule for COVID vaccine is:
  • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays:  9 am - noon and 1 - 3 pm
  • Fridays:  9 am - noon
Please bring your photo ID, insurance card if you have one, and your COVID-19 vaccination card (if you are getting a second dose or booster shot.)  COVID-19 vaccines are provided free of charge.  If you have insurance, we are allowed to bill your insurance company for a small administration fee to help us cover the cost of our clinics.  However, if your insurance doesn't pay, you will not be billed.  You will NEVER have to pay out of pocket for a COVID-19 vaccine

Children under age 18 MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.  (If a legal guardian, please bring proof of guardianship.)

We currently stock 8 types of COVID-19 vaccine authorized in the US, including the new Pfizer and Moderna booster shots (updated to include better protection against the Omicron variants).

CDC V-Safe Program
The CDC offers a free, optional, online program.   If you register, you can receive a reminder when your second dose is due.  You can also participate in surveys where you can report any side effects you might experience.  If you want more information on this program, or to sign up, go to http://vsafe.cdc/gov/en/
