Lutheran Hospital

On Tuesday, May 4, Cleveland Clinic opened a vaccination clinic at Lutheran Hospital in Cleveland.

The clinic offers vaccinations to all Ohio residents age 16 and older per Ohio Department of Health criteria. Vaccinations will be available on Tuesdays, by appointment only.

Appointments can be scheduled through MyChart for Cleveland Clinic patients, or by calling our vaccine hotline at 216-448-4117. The hotline is open Tuesday through Friday 9:00 am-4:00 pm. Cleveland Clinic is currently administering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at all locations. For more information about scheduling a COVID-19 vaccine appointment at this or any of our locations, visit our website.

A key focus of Cleveland Clinic’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution process includes ensuring that those who are at higher risk of infection and death from the virus – including Black, Hispanic and underserved communities – have access to the vaccine. Our goal is to make sure our communities have every opportunity to receive the vaccine.

We know vaccination is the most important public health measure we have to slow the spread of the virus. Having a significant portion of the public vaccinated will help us prevent serious hospitalizations and death, and will eventually allow a return to normal. The COVID-19 vaccine is an important step in helping to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our community

Lutheran Hospital has been a fixture in the community for over 100 years, serving the needs of Downtown Cleveland and the surrounding neighborhoods of Ohio City, Tremont and Gordon Square.

The Lutheran Hospital site is Cleveland Clinic’s 10th vaccination location in Northeast Ohio.
