Since the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one dose, there won't be a follow-up clinic.
You can register for all of the above clinics through the state website or by calling the Elkhart County Health Department’s bilingual call center at (574) 523-2106. You'll need to bring an ID card to your appointment, or another document with your address and date of birth, like a utility bill, bank statement, pay stub or lease agreement.
