Vaccine Clinics

O’Neill Healthcare continues to host vaccine clinics at all six of our locations. Through the state’s program, we’re able to host multiple clinics at each location. All staff and residents have the ability to be vaccinated against COVID-19, whether it be with the primary series vaccine or the new bivalent booster. O’Neill Healthcare plans to administer as many vaccines as possible, including the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines that are recommended by the CDC.

All our facilities have joined any vaccine program created by the state or federal agencies. We remain committed to vaccinating all our residents and staff to protect them from COVID-19. To read more, see our statement on Governor Mike DeWine’s Vaccine Maintenance Program.
