The Tippecanoe County Health Department will begin vaccinating residents 80 and older starting on Monday as part of the state’s vaccine rollout.
State health officials announced earlier this week that they would begin vaccinations as early as Friday but local officials say they will need more time to prepare.
Khala Hochstedler, the administrator for the Tippecanoe County Health Department, said vaccines will be given by appointment only.
“You’ll stay in your car,” she said. “You’ll call a number and notify us that you’re here. And we’ll say yes or no come in.”
