Six new options: Where to get COVID-19 shots in York, Lancaster, Chester counties.
The list of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics offering the coronavirus vaccine in South Carolina continues to grow each week, earning the state a top national ranking for its vaccine rollout efforts.
This month, the state expanded eligibility to the general public. At this time, South Carolinians 70 or older regardless of health status and preexisting conditions can sign up for COVID-19 shots.
The state’s Department of Health and Environmental Control has set up an online locator tool for those currently eligible for the vaccine to find nearby providers, and officials encourage residents to check the site daily as more and more providers are added each week.
As of Tuesday, six new locations have been added to the list of area providers, totaling 17 in York, Lancaster and Chester counties, according to DHEC’s online locator tool.
Residents, particularly those without internet, also can call the agency’s Care Line at 1-855-472-3432 to get information on how to schedule an appointment with nearby providers.
This story will be updated as patient eligibility and providers change. These facts are pertinent as of Feb. 2.
