The first mass vaccination clinic with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine against coronavirus in Marietta was held Saturday at the Memorial Health System Wayne Street Medical Campus.
Snaking around the Wayne Street medical campus, close to the Ohio River, more than 1,400 individuals in their vehicles were vaccinated Saturday in Marietta’s first mass-vaccination clinic with the Johnson and Johnson single-dose innoculation from coronavirus.
At the entrance to the campus, across the street from Memorial Health System’s laboratory where many get their bloodwork done, greeters welcomed those with appointments and filed them into the two lanes, wrapping around the hillside parking lot.

Local vaccine providers are continuing to offer vaccinations to the Mid-Ohio Valley as they become available, based on vaccination guidelines set forth by the state.
Vaccines are administered by volunteers at the clinic the Washington County Health Department runs out of the Broughton side in Devola, the local school districts and through private pharmacies.
Carol Greening, a retired nurse and volunteer coordinator for the Washington County Health Department, said help is needed, even outside of physical contact with the elderly, those with disabilities and teachers who are eligible to receive vaccinations from coronavirus in Ohio.
