The North Central Health District (NCHD) has expanded the operating hours COVID-19 vaccination without appointments at all 13 county health departments within the district. The schedule of no-appointment vaccinations in Washington and Hancock Counties includes:
– Washington County: On Tuesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Washington County Health Department located at 201 Morningside Drive in Sandersville.
– Hancock County: On Tuesdays from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Hancock County Health Department located at 516 Boland Street in Sparta.
While all 13 sites in the North Central Health District (including Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Hancock, Houston, Jasper, Jones, Monroe, Peach, Putnam, Twiggs, Washington, and Wilkinson counties) offer no-appointment vaccination, individuals can call 478-749-0179 or 1-844-987-0099 to schedule appointments at any of these locations.
In addition to extended hours on COVID-19 vaccine days, all 13 health departments now offer COVID 19 vaccination as a regular clinical service during business hours. Each health department’s no-appointment vaccine days will provide a single brand vaccine, but vaccination through the clinical service will give clients the option of choosing from available vaccine brands (not all brands available at all health departments, availability based on supply). Appointments can be made at each health department; find your local health department’s contact information at NCHD52.org/Locations.
