The Williams County Health Department has developed community talking points in an effort to provide useful information as we work together to prevent COVID-19 spread in our community.
- COVID-19 cases remain high in Williams County. In the past 7 days (Jan. 19th-Jan. 26th), there have been 94 new cases, 3 hospitalizations, and 1 death. As of 1/21, Williams County remains level 3 (red) on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System (OPHAS) and triggered 3 of the 7 indicators (New cases per capita, New case increase, & Non-congregate cases) and high incidence.
- People who are 65 years or older in Williams County can now register for a COVID-19 vaccine. To register, complete the online form on the WCHD website. Attached is a flyer that can be printed to share vaccine registration information.
Online Registration:
-FIRST DOSE: To register for an appointment, complete this online form: bit.ly/WCVaccine.
-SECOND DOSE: If you have already had a first dose and need a second dose, fill out this online form instead: bit.ly/WCVaccine2. The second dose of the vaccine must be the same type (Pfizer or Moderna) so please check your COVID-19 vaccine card to verify the type of vaccine you received for the first dose as well as the date received.
Phone Registration:
-If you cannot complete either of the forms online, call the WCHD at 419-485-3141.
-Please reserve phone lines for those who cannot use online resources.
Scheduling Notice:
-Please remember there is not enough vaccine to schedule or vaccinate everyone now eligible. With the limited supply, it will likely take many weeks to vaccinate all those in the age 65+ category who wish to be vaccinated.
-To avoid scheduling appointments for doses we do not have, we are scheduling clinics each week based on the quantity of vaccine that is arriving weekly. Supplies are limited everywhere. Please be patient. We are vaccinating as quickly as possible. No doses are wasted.
