Springfield-Greene County Health encourages everyone to consider getting vaccinated against COVID-19. A weekly schedule for COVID-19 vaccination opportunities in Greene County for May 15-19 can be found below. Vaccination against COVID-19 can help prevent severe illness and hospitalization. If you have any questions about COVID-19 vaccination, please visit vaccine417.com.
This will be the final weekly news release announcing vaccine opportunities. However, while the Public Health Emergency (PHE) ended on May 11th, Springfield-Greene County Health will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccines at no cost as long as there is supply available. The Health Department anticipates being able to offer limited opportunities to obtain the vaccine through the summer months. For a map and calendar of vaccine opportunities, go to www.vaccine417.com. There are no gift cards remaining at this time.
Springfield-Greene County Health offers Pfizer for those 5 years and older; Moderna for those 6 years and older; and Novavax (all doses) for those 12 years and older. All doses of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, available will be the updated bivalent vaccine.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorized a second booster shot of the updated COVID-19 vaccine for adults 65 years and older or those with weakened immunity. This additional booster shot can be received four months after receiving the first updated booster for most eligible adults, with immunocompromised adults able to receive it after two months.
