COVID-19 Vaccine is now available to elders 65 and older plus individuals 55 and older with health risks.  You can call the Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center to make an appointment for a shot.

It will take many months to get everyone vaccinated so it is critical that everyone continue to take measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

  • Wear a face mask
  • Maintain 6 feet of social distance from others
  • Wash your hands or use sanitizer when going in or coming out of a store or work
  • Avoid groups of people who you do not live with
