That’s a change for the health district, who for the last couple of weeks has run out of appointments less than a hour after opening scheduling on Friday morning.
Last week, the county was fielding so many calls, the health district’s phone system crashed.
“I’m happy to sit here on Friday afternoon at 4:17 p.m. and say we still have appointments available for next week,” Patterson said.
The health district will be taking vaccine appointments all weekend long until the remaining roughly 700 appointments fill up, Patterson said.
“I know people have been frustrated over the last couple of weeks, even as long as four to six weeks now, so if you’re frustrated but you still want a vaccine there are appointments available,” Patterson said.
To schedule an appointment with the health district, residents can contact 937-717-2439 or go the CCCHD’s website at ccchd.com.
