    DHEC Provides Additional Information on Vaccine Scheduling for Those 70 and Older

    The following information is provided by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). 

    To provide additional information ahead of tomorrow, when those 70 and older can begin to schedule appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, please see below.

    • Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13, those 70 and older can begin to schedule appointments to receive COVID-19 vaccinations at locations currently accepting vaccine appointments.
    • DHEC’s online map at scdhec.gov/vaxlocator will be live Wednesday, Jan. 13. This online map will show the locations currently accepting appointments for COVID-19 vaccine and the map will provide the contact information for scheduling appointments at those locations. The map itself is not a way to schedule an appointment.
    • Beginning Jan. 13, individuals can also call DHEC’s Care Line at 1-855-472-3432 for assistance in locating contact information for making an appointment. The Care Line can’t schedule an appointment but can help provide the phone numbers of locations offering vaccine appointments.
    • Appointments should be scheduled; walk-ins may not be able to receive the vaccine.
    • You will be asked to provide a driver’s license or other form of ID at your appointment that confirms your age in order to receive the vaccine. 
    • South Carolina residency is not a requirement to receive a vaccine.
    • The appointment scheduling phone line for each location may operate different hours of the day. This isn’t determined by DHEC.
    • South Carolina, like all states, currently has a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine. Some locations that offer vaccines may not have an appointment available for several weeks, depending on their vaccine supply. Facilities receive doses of vaccine each week from the federal government.
    • Individuals are encouraged to schedule their second shot as soon as they can. It’s important that individuals receive both doses of the same brand of vaccine to ensure they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. 

    For the latest COVID-19 vaccine updates and information, visit scdhec.gov/vaxfacts.

    Previous Announcement by DHEC

    Governor Henry McMaster and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) announced that beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13, any South Carolina resident aged 70 or older, regardless of health status or preexisting conditions, can begin scheduling their appointment to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Read the entire announcement here.

    SCDHEC has announced an upward trend in cases of COVID-19 in Charleston County. Find a testing location here. The Town is operating under Emergency Ordinance 2020-09.2, which requires face coverings and other emergency restrictions to address COVID-19 until February 3, 2021.


    Visit the Town’s comprehensive webpage with resources on COVID-19 including updated statistics, DHEC reporting, and more.
