NOVAVAX COVID-19 Vaccines Approved & Available for Unvaccinated Adults
(Updated 7/28/22): TCHD is now offering appointments for adults 18 and older who have NEVER received a COVID-19 vaccine of any kind and would like to receive the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. Novavax is NOT a booster dose. Novavax is a new vaccine option for unvaccinated American adults who have not received their primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The Novavax vaccine was created using a more traditional protein-based technology.
We are currently scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments at least two weeks out. To make an appointment, call us at 330-343-5555, ext. 174 or 181. Our scheduling phone lines are open Monday-Wednesday from 8 am to 4 pm, Thursday from 8 am to 6 pm, and Friday from 8 am to 1 pm.
On July 19, 2022, the CDC updated its COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, approving the Novavax vaccine for emergency use authorization for adults 18 years and older who have not yet received any kind of COVID-19 vaccine. Novavax is a two-dose (doses given 3 weeks apart), protein-based COVID-19 vaccine that is currently being used in more than 40 countries and has also been authorized by the European Union and the World Health Organization.

COVID-19 Booster Vaccine Information
The Tuscarawas County Health Department (TCHD) is now offering the Pfizer/Comirnaty, and Moderna COVID-19 booster doses to eligible persons 5 and older. If you are 5 and older and received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series, you can get a booster dose when at least 5 months have passed after your second dose of Pfizer or Moderna. First booster doses were approved by the CDC for children 5 and older on May 19, 2022. Second booster doses for eligible populations (see chart at the top of this web page for eligibility) were approved on March 27, 2022. To schedule a booster dose through TCHD, call us at 330-343-5555, ext. 100 to make an appointment (phone lines are open M-W from 8 am to 4 pm, Th from 8 am to 6 pm, and F from 8 am to 1 pm) OR by calling local pharmacies to check appointment availability.
You do not need to get your booster dose at the same location where you received your first and second doses, and you are encouraged to continue working with TCHD or reach out to other local vaccine providers for your COVID-19 vaccine needs. We only ask that you keep any appointment that you make. We also ask you to bring your COVID-19 vaccine card.

COVID-19 booster recipients will be asked to attest that they meet one of the eligibility requirements, but specific proof will not be required.
