3 Sites Administering COVID-19 Vaccine In Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, OH — As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more widely available, there will be three locations offering the vaccines in Lakewood.

The Ohio Department of Health is tracking where vaccines will be distributed. In Lakewood, Discount Drug Mart and Giant Eagle pharmacy will have the COVID-19 vaccine.

Ohio began vaccinating residents 80 and older this week. The vaccine will be available to more Ohioans every week as the state moves through Phase 1B of its distribution plan.

Here are the locations in Lakewood where you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine:

• Discount Drug Mart, 13123 Detroit Avenue
• Discount Drug Mart, 15412 Detroit Avenue
• Giant Eagle, 14100 Detroit Avenue

Starting Jan. 25, vaccinations will be available to Ohioans 75 and older. Vaccines will also be available to Ohioans with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset medical disorders, and who have a developmental or intellectual disability.

Representatives from county developmental disabilities boards should reach out to eligible Ohioans to coordinate the vaccination process.

"This group has been identified by medical professionals as having a high risk of death if they caught COVID-19," said Gov. Mike DeWine. "It's critical that we continue to prioritize Ohioans who are most vulnerable."

On Feb. 1, vaccines will be available for Ohioans 70 and older and some school staffers. Teachers and school staffers will largely be vaccinated in closed-to-the-public settings, DeWine's office said.

On Feb. 8, vaccines will be available to Ohioans 65 and older.

On Feb. 15, Ohioans with severe congenital, developmental or early-onset medical disorders (but do not have a developmental or intellectual disability) can receive the vaccine.
