Here’s when and where you can get a walk-in COVID vaccine in the Myrtle Beach area
Vaccines are becoming more available in South Carolina, and two area hospitals are now open to walk-ins instead of requiring an appointment.
Both Tidelands Health and McLeod Health have clinics available near Myrtle Beach where an appointment isn’t required. All South Carolina residents 16 and older are now eligible for a vaccine as the state pushes toward herd immunity from the coronavirus.
South Carolina joined other states Tuesday in halting the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended a pause of the brand’s doses. Six women have developed blood clots after getting the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, the agencies said, but that appears to be “extremely rare.”
The sudden pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine administration isn’t expected to significantly impact the state’s progress in vaccinations, Dr. Edward Simmer, director of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, told reporters Wednesday. More than 95% of the state’s providers are giving out Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna doses, he said. All the sites listed below are providing the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
