The CDC is a great resource for immunizations you may need. Please visit the CDC 2021 Vaccination Schedule Recommendations for adults, children, and those who are pregnant.
If you require special assistance such as curbside or a home visit for a vaccine, please call the pharmacy. We are doing our best to accommodate special requests.
Pfizer: indicated for 12 years or older; 6 dose multi-dose vial (0.3 mL)
Moderna: indicated for 18 years or older; 10 dose multi-dose vial (0.5 mL)
Johnson & Johnson: indicated for 18 years or older; 5 dose multi-dose vial (0.5 mL)
Vaccine is currently available in multi-dose vials. Your dose is connected to each person also getting their dose from the same vial. Once a vial is punctured it is only good for 6 hours. If you miss an appointment the pharmacy must find someone to take that dose before it expires.
This is why switching appointment days is not easily accommodated. If we are hosting a clinic and a vial is opened those doses are used and can not be held for a later date.
We understand unexpected events may occur and prevent you from making an appointment. If that happens we will place you on a clean-up list. We will do our best to accommodate you when and if we have extra doses or future cancellations within 42 days of your 1st dose.
