FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SCPH Open Appointments for Moderna vaccine at the Summit County Fairgrounds on Friday April 23, and Tuesday April 27, 2021.

[Akron, OH] – Summit County Public Health will be administering the Moderna vaccine at the Mass Vaccination Clinics at the Summit County Fairgrounds located at 1050 North Ave.,

Tallmadge on:

 Friday April 23, 2021 from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm (with the last appt. at 5:30); Second Dose Clinic: 5/24

 Tuesday April 27, 2021 from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm (with the last appt. at 5:30); Second Dose Clinic: 5/25

The Moderna vaccine has an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval for ages 18 and over. The second dose appointments will be held on the identified dates at the same time as the
first dose. Due to this being a mass vaccination clinic there is no flexibility in scheduling the second dose appointment. Those individuals who are not able to attend their second dose
appointment should not proceed with receiving the first does from the mass vaccination clinic at the fairgrounds. “It remains a priority for us to vaccinate as many individuals as possible. With
the State’s support in providing FDA approved vaccine we will continue to vaccinate as planned” Donna Skoda, Health Commissioner, SCPH. Please visit
https://gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov/ to schedule your appointment for the mass vaccination site at the Summit County Fairgrounds.

Even after vaccination we ask that you continue to engage in safe and effective behaviors to reduce the spread of COVID-19:

 Stay home if you’re sick, even with mild symptoms
 Be mindful in your interactions with others. Limit your chances of exposure by maintaining social distancing of at least six feet from non-household members
 Wear a mask in public
 Consider necessary travel only
 Follow good hygiene standards:
 Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
 Use hand sanitizer frequently
 Avoid touching your face
 Cover coughs and sneezes

Before coming to the Summit County Fairgrounds for your appointment please remember to:

 Make sure you have a full gas tank.
 If you have anxiety about getting vaccinated or needles please consider having a friend or family member drive you.
 Eat something before you arrive for your appointment.
 Bring picture identification (driver’s license, military ID, etc.)
