The next drive-through vaccination clinic for Clark County will be on March 11, at the Greenwood Fire and EMS Department, 103 Cannery St., Greenwood, from 10 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. If you are unable to make your appointment due to inclement weather or personal reasons, or arrive after the clinic hours, you will not be guaranteed your dose. You will have to schedule another appointment at a future Clark County Health Department (CCHD) COVID-19 vaccine clinic or reach out to your local healthcare provider, pharmacy, etc. COVID-19 vaccines will be available for those listed below. At this time, vaccines are not available for the general public.

CCHD offers appointment time slots to all individuals who are currently eligible. Protocols put into place by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) require administration to be limited to those part of Phase 1A and Phase 1B only (listed below).

The CCHD has been allotted Moderna vaccines for the week of March 8. Appointments are required. Appointments may fill-up fast. If appointment slots are already full, do not call the CCHD or their local partners. The CCHD is not able to keep waiting lists at this time.

Those who sign up for an appointment are not guaranteed a dose if they do not meet the eligibility criteria. Do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to your appointment time for safety and traffic concerns.
