Hello, Hoosier:

The Indiana Department of Health has set up a vaccination clinic near you at Martinsville High School. No appointment is necessary, so come in when it’s convenient for you. Register for a COVID-19 test or for the vaccine to save some time. If you have already been vaccinated, please note that testing is also available at this event.

Clinic information:

                    WHEN:    4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 17

                    WHERE:   Martinsville High School
                                    1360 E. Gray St.
                                    Martinsville, IN  46151

Here are some facts you should know:

  • The test and vaccine is available at no cost to you, but please submit your insurance information if you have it because clinics can charge an administration fee to your insurance.
  • This site will offer PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and BinaxNOW rapid antigen tests. Testing for children age 6 months to 2 years old is available with parental assistance.
  • If you live with another person who is also eligible to receive the vaccine (anyone age 12 and older), you will need to schedule two separate appointments.
  • Individuals age 12-17 must receive the Pfizer vaccine. An adult must accompany children ages 12-15 to the vaccine appointment. If the adult present is not the parent or guardian, consent must be submitted in advance. For anyone age 16-17 it’s preferred that a parent or guardian accompany the minor to the vaccination site. We understand this may not always be possible. In those cases, the parent or guardian can provide written or verbal authorization.
  • If you are 18 or older, you may choose to receive either the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) or Pfizer vaccine, which requires a second dose to be fully protected. This will be scheduled at the time of your first dose.
  • IU Health offers free rides to any vaccine site in the state. If you need transportation to your vaccine appointment anywhere in the state, call 1-888-IUHEALTH (1-888-484-3258) and choose option 9.
  • Patients with an appointment at a state-hosted public vaccination site can get a free UBER ride. Call 2-1-1 or (866) 211-9966 to receive a voucher to cover the cost of an Uber ride to and from your vaccination appointments.
