COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is providing regular updates for COVID-19 vaccine clinics and testing opportunities in your region. This information for the Midlands (Aiken, Barnwell, Edgefield, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, Lexington, Newberry, Saluda, Richland, and York counties) is subject to change.

Most current vaccine clinic information: scdhec.gov/vaxlocator

The COVID-19 vaccine is currently available for all South Carolinians age 16 and older. The Moderna vaccine is for people 18 and older, and the Pfizer vaccine is for ages 16 and up. These vaccines are safe, effective, and free. DHEC recommends that South Carolinians get the first vaccine you can schedule. People won't pay deductibles, co-insurance, or co-payments, and should not receive a bill.
