CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The Clarksville-Montgomery County area is now into its third month of distributing COVID-19 vaccines, leaving those who are newly eligible or soon-to-be eligible asking how and where to get a vaccine, and the options are growing every day.
Some of this vaccine rollout has caused confusion for residents, as communication problems and scheduling debacles have tripped up the Tennessee Department of Health’s vaccination effort. Along with the local health department, Austin Peay State University and the hospital at Fort Campbell, several local pharmacies are also now offering the vaccine.
Individuals who are 55 or older, along with those who qualify under 1a1, 1a2, 1b, 1c, 2a or 2b of the risk-based phases of the priority list from the state, are currently eligible to receive the vaccine in Montgomery County.
Phases 2a and 2b include those in critical infrastructure industries.
Here are all the locations offering the vaccine to the public in Montgomery County, and how to register at each location.
