COVID-19 Vaccination
The CDC has expanded the use of updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines for young children.
|
COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months old and up. They are free, safe, effective, and easy to get!
- Find a convenient provider near you: https://vaccines.gov/search. Our "Where to Get a COVID-19 Vaccine" page also lists local options.
- Stay up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccines to make sure you're as protected as possible. Check out the CDC's website to see when you need a booster.
- Make sure to get your bivalent booster! Many local providers are able to give this vaccine (we recommend checking with your primary care provider or vaccines.gov). These boosters contain an updated bivalent formula that both boosts immunity against the original coronavirus strain and also protects against the newer Omicron variants. Vaccine effectiveness can decline over time, so boosters help you stay protected!

There will continue to be no out-of-pocket charges for COVID-19 vaccines at our clinic.

- If possible, please bring your identification and vaccination card (if coming in for a booster). ID is not required, but is helpful for faster processing.

- A parent or guardian should be present when minors are getting vaccinated. If a parent/guardian cannot be present, an adult must accompany the minor. Written permission and a number where the parent/guardian can be reached is required. Identification is not required for minors.
