When and how to get your COVID-19 vaccine.
UC Health is following Ohio’s phased community distribution plan for the COVID-19 vaccine. We are currently vaccinating members of the community through Phase 1B. Since Dec. 14, 2020, as part of Phase 1A, we have also vaccinated many employees.
Community appointments are being offered in accordance with the State of Ohio’s 1B distribution schedule.
Appointments are limited based on state supplies and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If we receive new supply from the state, we open new appointment slots through My UC Health and (513) 584-DOSE every FRIDAY at NOON EST and will schedule appointments until our supply is exhausted.
You do NOT have to be an Ohio resident or a UC Health patient to schedule an appointment.
If you are eligible per the State of Ohio's distribution plan, you may be able to view current vaccine appointments by logging onto your My UC Health (MyChart) account. This is the easiest and fastest way to schedule your appointment.
