Indiana is expanding coronavirus vaccinations for the second time in as many days. After dropping the eligibility age to 55 on Tuesday, the state health department has lowered it again to anyone 50 and up. Anyone over 50 can now sign up for vaccination through the state portal. And teachers of any age are eligible for a separate federal program by signing up through Kroger, Meijer or Wal-Mart. State health department chief medical officer Lindsay Weaver says the approval of the new Johnson and Johnson vaccine, and the arrival of more than 50-thousand doses in Indiana, made the rapid expansion possible.
Gov. Eric Holcomb is now eligible and says he’ll be getting his shot this Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway mass vaccination site. Three more sites will host Hoosiers getting vaccines this month. To schedule your shot, visit ourshot.in.gov.
