The vaccination effort originally started in mid-December, beginning with health care workers and then residents of long-term care facilities.
Hoosiers can register at ourshot.in.gov. Vaccinations are free and family members can register for a senior. Hoosiers can also register by calling 2-1-1 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.

As of Tuesday, 204,326 people in Indiana had received the first of two vaccine doses, while another 31,432 had been fully vaccinated.
