Reid Health opening vaccination site in Brookville

Brookville, IN — Reid Health is partnering with the Franklin County Health Department to launch a COVID-19 high-volume vaccine clinic in Brookville to help boost vaccination rates in the county.

The clinic, located at the American Legion Post 77 at 1290 Fairfield Avenue, will be open Tuesdays for six weeks starting on March 30. Hours of operation will be 7 am -7 pm. First shots will be given on the March 30, April 6, and April 13 dates with second doses to come over the following three weeks.

Appointments should be scheduled through the state website, ourshot.in.gov. After an appointment has been made, a link will be sent to complete the registration. That information doesn’t have to be filled out before arriving for the scheduled vaccination but doing so ahead of time will speed up the process.

If you need help getting an appointment, you can register directly with the Franklin County clinic by calling 765-935-8484 Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm and 9 am to 1 pm Saturday. The Indiana Department of Health also has designated 211 as a call line for assistance, but Reid has been made aware at least some local sites aren’t showing for 211 staff as having available appointments. Patients should specifically ask for the Franklin County site if 211 staff don’t initially offer it as an option.
