Holmes County posts local vaccine clinics and record services

The Holmes County General Health District maintains a centralized immunization program that lists routine clinic dates, partner clinic locations and instructions for scheduling vaccines and requesting records. The health office at 2600 Glen Drive in Millersburg serves as the primary clinic site, with partner locations at St. John’s Lutheran in Mt. Hope and Walnut Creek Mennonite Church hosting additional clinics. A dedicated phone line, 330-674-5035, is available for appointment scheduling and immunization record requests.

The page outlines who should receive which vaccines, with guidance targeted to babies, children and college students, and provides information about routine and special clinics. For families juggling school requirements, infant care and college enrollment, the local program is intended to simplify access to shots and official records that schools, daycare centers and institutions may request.

Maintaining up-to-date immunization records and having predictable clinic locations matter in a rural county where transportation, work schedules and internet access can limit health care options. By holding clinics at faith-based and community locations in addition to the county health office, the district aims to reach residents where they live and work and to lower logistical barriers to vaccination.

Public health implications extend beyond individual prevention. Routine immunizations protect children and vulnerable adults from vaccine-preventable diseases and reduce the potential for local outbreaks that strain school attendance, workforce capacity and health services. Easy access to records is also critical for families who need proof of vaccination for school registration, college enrollment or medical care.

The program page includes practical instructions for making appointments and obtaining records. Residents without reliable internet access can call 330-674-5035 for help with scheduling or to request copies of immunization histories. The availability of special clinics can provide targeted opportunities for catch-up vaccinations or community events tied to school enrollment periods.

For Holmes County, ensuring equitable access to vaccines requires ongoing coordination among the health district, churches and community organizations that host clinics. Continued communication about clinic dates, transportation support and times outside standard work hours will be important to reach residents who face the greatest barriers.

Watch for posted clinic schedules at the county health office and partner locations, and call 330-674-5035 to make appointments or request records. Staying current with vaccinations protects individual families and strengthens community health as the county prepares for the coming school and college registration cycles.
