COVID-19 Vaccinations

Oaklawn has begun reaching out to patients 65+, following tiered criteria, via email and phone to schedule those at highest risk first. The number of vaccine appointments scheduled is based on the number of vaccine doses we get from the state and federal governments. We will continue scheduling more appointments each week as supply arrives. We look forward to vaccinating as many people as possible and appreciate your patience.

All individuals in Calhoun County age 65 years and older, who want to get the COVID-19 vaccine, can also call 269-441-0912 to be placed on a waiting list for their vaccination. This is only for seniors 65+; information about other vaccine opportunities for essential workers will be published when they’re available.

Follow www.calhouncountymi.gov/covidvaccine for updates on vaccine distribution.

Wearing Masks & Social Distancing

Oaklawn will be maintaining current policies and procedures that ensure the safety of our staff, patients, and community. Masks will continue to be required in our facilities and visitation policies will still be limited until further notice.

Patients, visitors and staff must wear masks the entire time you’re in an Oaklawn building, otherwise you will be asked to leave. This can be accomplished with homemade cloth or procedure masks. Please bring your own mask. If you do not have a mask when you arrive at one of our locations, one will be provided to you. Whenever possible, please maintain at least 6′ between yourself and others.
