There is good and not so good news in the latest data released by the Fishers Health Department.   The good news is that COVID casts are down in the latest numbers.  However, even with that, Fishers remains in the red, Level 4, or highest category of transmission.  For a more detailed video discussion posted on You Tube February 9, from Health Department Director Monica Heltz, go to this link.

The Fishers Health Department has vaccinated 3,232 individuals. This week, the department is vaccinating people for their second dose. In Hamilton County, 12% of the population has received their first dose and 5.5% have completed their vaccine.

Individuals ages 65 years and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of underlying medical conditions. Vaccination clinic hours are by appointment only and can be made here for eligible individuals only. You are able to schedule your vaccination appointment at the Mass Vaccination Site or at any vaccination site in Indiana. New appointments continue to open up, so check back frequently.

If you need assistance scheduling, please call the Fishers COVID Hotline at 317-595-3211 or call 2-1-1. Family members may schedule on behalf of eligible individuals. There is no charge for the vaccine. All persons receiving the vaccine will need valid ID or other proof of meeting eligibility criteria.

Beginning on February 15, the Technology Drive testing site will close for testing due to decreased demand. School-based exposures (resident and nonresident) can be tested at the drive-thru Fishers Health Department Testing Site at the City Services Building located at 3 Municipal Drive.

All Hoosiers can schedule an appointment for testing on the Fishers Health Department website. If you need assistance scheduling, please call the Fishers COVID Hotline at 317-595-3211.
