NORTH AUGUSTA, SC (WRDW / WAGT) – After contacting the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Media Line, we found that how a person can apply and get a vaccine depends on each individual provider.
DHEC says the team is working on a centralized system, but does not yet know when it will be available.
Aiken Regional
You can call 803-641-5000 to find a doctor or speak to an operator.
If you are unable to contact a health officer, you can submit a COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Form. Aiken Regional will review the form and, based on the phased distribution, can provide you with an estimated time to potentially receive the vaccine.

Aiken County Health Department
You can call 803-642-1687 and dial 0 to speak to the operator and schedule an appointment.
The department regularly maintains clinics to assist with COVID-19 testing and vaccinations.
Medical care
You have to register online before making an appointment. Click here to register.
We don’t suggest calling, or you may have a longer wait time.
Here’s the problem: the only health care centers in our area that offer vaccines are Aiken Mall and Orangeburg. Newberry and Lexington West locations are also offering.
Edgefield County Hospital
The hospital only accepts consultations on Thursdays and then administers the vaccines next week.
To schedule an appointment call 864-725-3555 from 9 am to noon. Appointments will be made on a first come first served basis and limited to 1,500. There is also a limit of two vaccine markings per call.
You must live in Greenwood, Laurens, Saluda, Abbeville, Edgefield, McCormick or Newberry counties.
