A second mass vaccination drive-thru clinic for the COVID-19 vaccine will be held Friday.

Appointments can be scheduled starting at 8:00 a.m. Thursday , February 11 , 2021. The County Health Department encourages people to schedule the appointment online. If you lack access to a computer and internet you can call 442 - 265 - 6700 or 442 - 265 - 7033. The number of phone operators is limited so scheduling by phone could result in a long wait time.
