Aultman Health Foundation offers several COVID-19 vaccination sites throughout Stark and Wayne counties. All appointments can be scheduled via the Ohio Department of Health’s website gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov. Please note: If a provider does not appear in your search results, it means there are currently no available appointments. You are encouraged to check the website regularly for openings.
COVID & Flu Vaccine Clinics – North Canton
This clinic will be closed from May 1 through July 31, 2023. We encourage you to visit your local pharmacy for vaccines during this time. The clinic will reopen in August for flu and COVID vaccines.
After August of 2023, flu vaccines, as well as COVID-19 vaccines will be available at the walk-in vaccine clinic at Aultman North Canton Medical Center for both colleagues and the general public.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an additional dose of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines now can be administered to a small group of immunocompromised individuals following completion of a primary mRNA vaccine series. Other fully vaccinated individuals do not need an additional vaccine dose at this time.
The FDA has updated its emergency use authorizations for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to include a recommended third dose for individuals with moderate to severe immunosuppression who are at heightened risk for serious outcomes from COVID-19. This additional dose should be administered at least 28 days following completion of the primary vaccination series. An additional dose is not recommended if you received the Johnson & Johnson single dose.
Individuals who believe they meet the criteria are urged to consult with their healthcare providers to determine next steps. A patient’s clinical team is best positioned to determine the degree of immune system compromise and appropriate timing of vaccination. The CDC has further defined this eligible population to include:
- Individuals undergoing active treatment for cancer (solid tumor and hematologic malignancies).
- Individuals who have received a solid-organ transplant and are taking immunosuppressive therapy.
- Individuals who have received a CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within two years of transplant or taking immunosuppression therapy).
- Individuals with moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).
- Individuals with advanced or untreated HIV infection.
- Individuals undergoing active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., ≥20mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis (TNF) blockers and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory.
Alongside the additional dose recommendation, the CDC is also recommending the following extra precautions for immunocompromised individuals:
- Wearing a mask.
- Staying six feet apart from others outside their household.
- Avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces.
- Close contacts of immunocompromised people are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Please note that these additional doses for immunocompromised persons should not be confused with booster doses. At this time, additional booster doses are not authorized or recommended for any individuals based upon waning immunity over time. The need for and timing of a COVID-19 booster dose have not been established, according to the FDA.
Aultman Health Foundation offers several COVID-19 vaccination sites throughout Stark and Wayne counties. If you have received your primary two-dose regimen and fall into any of the immunocompromised categories listed above, please schedule your third dose vaccination by visiting the Ohio Department of Health’s website at gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov.
