Health Department COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic (555 Towner in Ypsilanti)
Schedule an appointment by calling us at 734-544-6700. We prefer people schedule appointments, but we can take walk-ins without appointments based on our availability during clinic hours (Monday-Friday from 9-11am and 1-4pm). Please note that you will likely have to wait to be seen if coming in without an appointment. |
- Clinic is appointment-only and open to everyone 6 months old and older.
- Pfizer and Moderna initial doses and updated/bivalent boosters available. We do not have Novavax or Johnson & Johnson vaccine - if you would like either of these vaccines, please search for a provider offering it on vaccines.gov.
- All COVID-19 vaccines are free. You do not need an insurance card to be vaccinated at the Health Department, but please bring yours if you have insurance. We will charge insurance for the administration of the vaccine, if possible. If you don’t have insurance, that’s okay. There will continue to be no out-of-pocket charges for COVID-19 vaccines at our clinic.
- You also not need to live or work in Washtenaw County to be vaccinated at our clinics. Everyone is welcome, including individuals who are not U.S. residents.

- A parent or guardian should be present when minors are getting vaccinated. If a parent/guardian cannot be present, an adult must accompany the minor. Written permission and a number where the parent/guardian can be reached is required. Identification is not required for minors.
