Med Center Health announced Wednesday that any individual over the age of 16 is now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Due to the availability of more vaccination sites in the area, Med Center Health is pleased to now be scheduling any individual aged 16 and older for the COVID vaccine,” Med Center Health’s website states.
