Riverside Health system is proud to be hosting several free vaccination events throughout the region in order to further promote both flu and COVID-19 vaccination. At these clinics, residents will be able to receive the flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time, with one in each arm. The clinics will feature free drive-thru and walk-up vaccinations for those ages 12 and over. To receive second or third Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, you must show proof of prior vaccination. The FDA advisory panel has approved booster doses of COVID-19 to those that are aged 65 and above as well as those considered at high-risk of severe COVID-19 disease, including those with high occupational risk. These vaccination events will only offer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Please review our guidelines below before you attend. If you have any questions, please call Riverside Nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 757-595-6363 or toll free 1-800-675-6368. While supplies last. Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines only.
