COVID-19 patient resources
It’s important as health care professionals that we model good behavior for our patients, friends and family. Below is a variety of resources, websites and information that we encourage you to share.
Top 5 Things to Remember about the COVID-19 vaccine
- Make sure patients have a MyChart account. It is the easiest way to ensure they receive communication about a scheduling ticket. If the patient does not have access to MyChart, call 216.444.2538 for scheduling over the phone. Caregivers are available 24/7.
- A scheduling ticket to receive the COVID-19 vaccine is NOT an appointment and patients need an appointment to get the vaccine. Appointment information can be found at ClevelandClinic.org.
- The vaccine will be available to eligible patients by appointment only at our designated vaccination sites. It will not be available in our provider offices or walk-in clinics.
- Cleveland Clinic is just one way for patients to receive a vaccine. As vaccine supply is limited, they can find other locations to receive the COVID-19 vaccine near them on the Ohio Department of Health’s website.
- Even if patients have received the vaccine, they need to continue practicing existing safety measures.
