Until everyone is fulling vaccinated and the spread of COVID-19 slows – it’s imperative that everyone continue to take all safety precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.  That includes wearing a face mask, maintaining social distance of at least 6 feet, not gathering in groups from outside your household and staying home as much as possible.

Vaccinations at the Health & Wellness Center are working through priority groups this week and expect to move to 65 and over plus 55 and over with comorbidities soon.  100 new doses of the Moderna Vaccine are being administered this week.  Second doses have begun to be given to Health Care Workers and First Responders who got the first shot at the end of December.

The Moderna vaccination is given in two doses – 28 days apart.  The vaccination is considered completed about a week after the second dose.
