COVID-19 Vaccination

Ohio is distributing safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines statewide to those who choose to be vaccinated. Over time, more providers may be added to effectively distribute the vaccine. The State is strategically and thoughtfully distributing the vaccines to Ohioans according to a phased approach. Currently these phases include those at the greatest risk in conjunction with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). Those identified in the current Phase of vaccination that are interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine can contact one of the following Defiance County locations. For more information on vaccine phases, read the information below the providers. The COVID-19 vaccine is available to all eligible Ohioans at 16 and up.

Quarantine Guidance

Stay home if you might have been exposed to COVID-19. Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others. Quarantine helps prevent spread of disease that can occur before a person knows they are sick or if they are infected with the virus without feeling symptoms. People in quarantine should stay home, separate themselves from others, monitor their health, and follow directions from their state or local health department.

CDC Quarantine Guidance

Isolation Guidance

Separate yourself from others if you have COVID-19. Isolation is used to separate people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, from people who are not infected. People who are in isolation should stay home until it’s safe for them to be around others. In the home, anyone sick or infected should separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick room” or area and using a separate bathroom (if available).

CDC Isolation Guidance

Testing Guidance

Considerations for getting tested for COVID-19.

People who have symptoms of COVID-19 may want to be tested
People who have had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with someone with confirmed COVID-19 may want to be tested.
People who have been asked or referred to get testing by their healthcare provider, or health department.

Not everyone needs to be tested. If you do get tested, you should self-quarantine/isolate at home pending test results and follow the advice of your health care provider or a public health professional.

Two kinds of tests are available for COVID-19: viral tests and antibody tests. A viral test tells you if you have a current infection. An antibody test might tell you if you had a past infection.
