DESCRIPTION:INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Health announced tod
 ay that Hoosiers age 50 and older are now eligible to receive a free COVID
 -19 vaccine. This expansion of eligibility makes the vaccine available to 
 an additional 412\,000 Hoosiers. \n \n\nDue to limited vaccine supplies na
 tionally\, Indiana has prioritized healthcare workers\, first responders a
 nd those who are most vulnerable in its vaccine rollout. Individuals age 5
 0 and older account for just over 35 percent of the state’s population b
 ut represent 80 percent of the COVID-19 hospitalizations and 98 percent of
  all COVID-19 deaths.\n \n\nAdditional groups will be added as more vaccin
 e becomes available.\n \n\nVaccine appointments for this newly eligible po
 pulation will be available over the next several weeks to align with expec
 ted vaccine deliveries to the state. Hoosiers are encouraged to take advan
 tage of one of three mass vaccination clinics scheduled at the Indianapoli
 s Motor Speedway\, Ivy Tech Community College in Sellersburg and the Unive
 rsity of Notre Dame this month.\n \n\nTo schedule a vaccine\, visit https:
 //ourshot.in.gov and select a location from one of nearly 390 clinics arou
 nd the state. Hoosiers who do not have a computer or cell phone or those w
 ho need assistance scheduling an appointment can call 211 or contact one o
 f Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging or AARP. Nearly 70 libraries around t
 he state also are helping Hoosiers schedule their appointments.\n \n\nVacc
 ination clinics that are part of the federal vaccine program\, including t
 hose at Meijer and Kroger\, appear on the clinic map at https://ourshot.in
 .gov but are scheduled through those retailers’ platforms\, not through 
 the state centralized system.\n \n\nAs of Wednesday\, 1\,031\,266 individu
 als have received a first dose of vaccine in Indiana and 608\,638 are full
 y vaccinated.\n \n\n###
