Community COVID-19 vaccination clinics have been opened by Prevea Health at HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital in Oconto Falls and by Bellin Health at the Bond Community Center in Oconto.

Both clinics are providing vaccinations by appointment only.

The Prevea clinic is providing COVID-19 vaccinations to all community members eligible for the vaccine under the vaccination prioritization guidelines set by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Currently, frontline health care personnel, residents in skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, police and fire personnel and adults ages 65 and older are eligible for vaccination at the Prevea Community COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic at HSHS St. Clare Memorial Hospital, 855 S. Main St., Oconto Falls.

Appointment availability is dependent on available vaccine supply that is provided by the DHS. Community members should not present to the hospital for vaccination without an appointment.

The COVID-19 clinic at Bond Community Center, 1201 Park Ave., Oconto, is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. Appointment availability will vary according to the vaccination allocation Bellin receives from the state.

Individuals may schedule via their MyBellinHealth account (free and available to patients and non-patients alike) or by calling the Bellin Health COVID-19 hotline at 920-445-7313. Those who are scheduling their vaccinations should note that both the hotline and MyBellinHealth are experiencing some delays due to high volumes of calls.

Vaccine-eligible patients and community members may have received a MyBellinHealth email or app notification that they are able to schedule their vaccine. If so, they may follow these detailed instructions to schedule. If eligible individuals have not yet received this prompt, they are still able to schedule by following these detailed instructions or by calling 920-445-7313.
