DELAWARE, Oh. – The Delaware Public Health District with assistance from the Delaware County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management are partnering to lead county-wide efforts to vaccinate eligible residents against COVID-19.
Starting next week, providers registered in Delaware County will receive a limited supply of doses for specific populations identified in Ohio’s Phase 1B.
“It is extremely important to note that vaccine availability is very limited,” said Health Commissioner Shelia Hiddleson. “At this point in time, requests for appointments have exceeded available doses, therefore even if a person is eligible to receive a vaccine, there’s a strong possibility they may not receive it during the particular time frame assigned to their age or group.”
The date and age of those eligible to start receiving vaccinations include:
- The week of Jan. 19: 80 years of age and older
- The week of Jan. 25: 75 years of age and older; those with severe congenital or developmental disorders
- The week of Feb. 1: 70 years of age and older; employees of K-12 schools that wish to remain or return to in-person or hybrid models
- The week of Feb. 8: 65 years of age and older
The following Delaware County providers are receiving 100 doses of vaccine during the week of Jan. 18 from the Ohio Department of Health. Please do not register multiple times with multiple providers. Please do not show up at these locations for a vaccination without contacting the facility first.
DELAWARE PUBLIC HEALTH DISTRICT
Qualifying Phase 1B recipients can sign up to receive their vaccination from the Health District by filling out this form: https://bit.ly/3puGGuS
Individuals without email access can call the Health District at (740) 368-1700 and a staff member will complete caller registration.
OHIOHEALTH GRADY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
OhioHealth patients 80 years and older will soon be notified to schedule their vaccine in OhioHealth MyChart with appointments beginning Jan. 19. Request a MyChart activation code if you don’t have an account by clicking here: mychart.ohiohealth.com/MyChart/signup.
OhioHealth is asking current patients to verify contact info in OhioHealth MyChart (or sign up) to help make scheduling COVID-19 vaccine quicker and easier once it’s your turn. Caregivers to those who need help can set up proxy account access with the “Share My Record” feature.
GIANT EAGLE PHARMACY
Your neighborhood Giant Eagle Pharmacy will administer the vaccine once it’s available as defined in the phased approach. The most up-to-date information on the vaccine process, availability, and timeline will be shared on gianteagle.com/covidvaccine.
KROGER PHARMACY
Kroger customers should visit kroger.com/ohiocovidvaccine or call COVID-19 vaccine helpline at 866-211-5320 for the latest information on vaccine availability in their area. With vaccines arriving next week, Kroger helpline will be active starting Saturday, Jan.16. Next week, Kroger pharmacies will only be providing vaccines to the current phase/included populations, seniors 80+. All COVID-19 vaccines will require an appointment via kroger.com/ohiocovidvaccine or 866-211-5320 once vaccines are available.
Residents are encouraged to visit DelawareHealth.org/covid-19vaccine for updates on future vaccine providers. In addition, a statewide vaccine provider search is available beginning today at coronavirus.ohio.gov/vaccine.
The Health District will communicate distribution plans and next phases through our website, local news media, social media platforms, partner organizations, and our coronavirus newsletter as soon as information and vaccine supply becomes available

I have Mychart, Grady Memorial Hospital is not listed and you can not sign up until they send you an email. I don’t understand why you are saying we can use MyChart to sign and at same time saying 100 people have signed up for the locations you listed. I don’t understand
Confused!
Thanks for providing clear information. I appreciate all you’re doing for us.
If we are already registered, do we just wait in line until more doses are received? Will there be any kind of notification in terms of where we are on the list? if we have registered with Delaware county, are we able to call someplace like Kroger and get it done there? I’m just confused.
Yes, please be patient as we are working weekly with what supplies we are provided by the state. If and when your registration is approved, you should receive an e-mail regarding approval with the next steps. If you are able to get an appointment at another provider, we ask you kindly to contact us and cancel your request, as that will free up a dose for someone else. Thank you!
I am a healthcare provider (pharmacist).
I still need my first dose of covid 19 vaccine . I see nowhere on your website to sign up for providers. I live in Delaware county and had an appt but had to cancel cause my Mother died in Massachusetts . Please advise. Thank you 614-946/5954

When will people under the age of 75 who are tier 1b eligible get the vaccine? I filled out the online form almost 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing. Why is the health department only going by age groups and not cdc tier groups?
Is there a contact stand by list in case of cancellations or no shows in order not to waste the vaccine?
Please fill out the registration form and click “yes” on Question 12: http://bit.ly/3aD5yLp
I had an appointment for Feb 2. It got canceled. So I am now at the bottom of the list
I made the appt over a week in advance. So I also lost the chance to get an appt somewhere else. I am 75 with cancer, pleural embolism and heart failure. I feel like I’ll die before I’ll get the vaccine.
Do you need to wait until your category comes up or is it wise to register ahead of time? My husband and I are 65+ so should we register now to be ready for 2/8? Thank you
