For more information on the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine, a recipient fact sheet is available in English, Spanish or Creole.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
You will need to present a valid photo ID and insurance card, if health insurance is carried by the individual. Some support documents may be required at time of visit.
Can I bring a caregiver to my appointment?
The safety of our patients and caregivers is our top priority. To maintain social distancing measures at our vaccination site, we ask that patients who need assistance bring only one caregiver with them to their vaccination appointment. Minimizing the number of people in these spaces will help to keep everyone safe. In addition, everyone attending the appointment must wear a mask.
How much does the COVID-19 vaccine cost?
There is NO-COST and NO-OUT-OF-POCKET expense to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. If you are insured, a minor charge will be billed to your insurance carrier for the administration of each vaccination. If you are uninsured, you will NOT receive a bill for administrative fees. We vaccinate everyone, including the uninsured, regardless of ability to pay.
If I receive the 2-dose Moderna vaccine, when and where will I get my second dose?
Your appointment is automatically scheduled during your first visit. During your first visit with us, you will be presented with a Vaccination Record card indicating the date of your second appointment. It will take approximately 28 days to receive your second dose.
