LAKE COUNTY, Ohio — The Lake County General Health District has launched a scheduling list for anyone under the Phase 1B of the COVID-19 vaccination plan.

Any Lake County resident who qualifies for Phase 1B—which is anyone who is 65 years of age and older and/or has severe congenital, developmental or early on-set medical disorders—can sign up.

Residents who complete the form will then be contacted at a later date with instructions to schedule an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination.

Residents working in K-12 schools returning to in-person learning on March 1 will be vaccinated in coordination with their school districts and should not complete this form.

Since the COVID-19 vaccine is extremely limited and the number of vaccines arriving to the county is unknown, completing the form does not guarantee a vaccine appointment.
