COVID-19 Vaccine Information
Monongalia County Health Department joined with Monongalia County, WVU Medicine and Mon Health System beginning Jan. 25, 2021, for a combined COVID-19 effort. Vaccine clinics are taking place at the old Sears location at the Morgantown Mall. Currently, anyone 12 and older is eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals ages 12 to 17 are only approved for the Pfizer vaccine, which is the one provided at the Greater Monongalia County COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic.

- When it is your turn to get a vaccine, consider wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with, if necessary because of the weather, an easily removable sweater or shirt over top.
- As of May 12, 2021, the CDC has changed its previous guidelines to allow individuals to get other vaccines at the same time as the COVID-19, so there is no longer a two-week waiting period before the first dose and after the second dose.
- Even after you are vaccinated, you will still need to follow COVID-19 guidelines, including wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, washing your hands and staying home when you can, as the virus continues to surge.
- Updates will be added to this site as well as to Monongalia County Health Department's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts.
When you get your COVID-19, you should download the V-safe app. This will allow you to respond to messages about your post-vaccination experience and get reminders about your second dose.
