PRESS RELEASE 

Monday, January 5, 2021 (10:30 am)

 

The Wheeling-Ohio County Health Department was alerted today, January 5, 2021, about a false mass text announcement concerning vaccinations for persons 80 years or over.

 

At this time, all COVID-19 vaccinations are done by appointment.  If you know anyone who received a mass text message concerning the health department giving COVID-19 vaccinations on January 6th from 9-3 and no appointment is needed, it is false.

 

The Health Department has not sent out any mass text announcements. The numbers from the mass text announcement are not from a (304) exchange.

 

Do not come for a COVID-19 vaccination unless you have an appointment with a time.
