In an announcement on Tuesday morning, the Indiana Department of Public Health announced that COVID-19 vaccine eligibility has dropped to those who are 45 and older.
The state has been in a constant weekly pattern of opening up more eligibility to people, however officials did not state that if this pattern will continue moving forward. Two weeks ago, the state went back-to-back days of opening up the eligibility first to those 55 and older, then 50 and older the next day.
