Starting April 15, Covid-19 vaccines will be available in Elroy on Thursday afternoons.

The vaccine that will be offered in Elroy is Moderna, which is approved for those who are at least 18 years old.  Aside from age, there are no other restrictions, including where you receive medical care or whether you have insurance. Everyone in the area who is 18 or older is eligible, and there is no out-of-pocket cost to anyone who is vaccinated.
