Currently, Ohioans 65 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as high-risk health care workers, K-12 school staff and those with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset medical disorders and disabilities.
The Stark County Health Department — which serves county residents who don't reside in Canton, Alliance or Massillon — is continuing to vaccinate those in the current 1B eligibility group, communication specialist Chris Cugini said in an email.
"Due to limited quantity and a large volume of folks still in the queue, we ask for patience as we call to schedule your appointment," he said.
The majority of clinics this week are devoted to those receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine, he said.
