COVID-19 Vaccine FAQ
Summit County is among the top ten Ohio counties with the highest number of positive coronavirus cases, but we have the power to lower our ranking on that list. With COVID-19 vaccines now available, we are administering them as directed by Ohio’s Vaccination Program. NOTE: We are providing the vaccine at our pharmacy location at 2015 State Road, Suite A, in Cuyahoga Falls.

Is the vaccine safe?

Will I still need to wear a mask after receiving the vaccine?

What should I expect from the vaccine process at Klein’s Pharmacy?
Please walk into the store and you will be greeted by a team member who will check you in. Please bring your ID, insurance card, and vaccine card if you have it. Once we have checked you in you will be required to fill out a short questionnaire/consent form. After you receive your vaccine, you will be required to wait on site for 15 minutes for observation.
