We will be utilizing Moderna, so the clinic is open to anyone age 18 or older. Participants can pre-register for an appointment using the link found on our website, and walk-ins are also accepted.”

All residents should continue to monitor themselves for COVID-19 symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills or repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell and contact their healthcare provider for instructions if feeling ill.
