Covid-19 Vaccination News

Are you eligible for your vaccination?

Everyone 45+ is eligible Now!

Starting March 29 anyone 16 and up with at least 1 medical condition is eligible to get the vaccine.

Starting April 5th anyone 16 and up is eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Disclaimar

Are you eligible for your vaccination?

ACHC will only be able to do 18 and up, because we do not carry the Pfizer vaccine and that is the only vaccine cleared to vaccinate 16 and 17 year olds.

Are you Fully Vaccinated?

Another important thing is to emphasize that even after getting the 2nd dose of Moderna, people are not considered fully vaccinated until 14 days after receiving their 2nd dose. What that means is that they should still be wearing their masks and social distancing until after their 14th day.

Once Fully Vaccinated

Are you Fully Vaccinated?

After your 14th day, if you are hanging out with other fully vaccinated people you are able to hang out indoors with relaxed mask standards. However, if out in public where you do not know who has been vaccinated or not, the CDC is still recommending that people, even fully vaccinated people, continue to wear their masks and social distance because while they themselves probably wont get sick from COVID-19 they could still spread it to other people who have not been vaccinated and get them sick.

COVID-19 q & A

What is the coronavirus?

Who is especially affected by the COVID-19 virus?

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person, who is in close contact with one another (about six feet) through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
It's also thought possible that COVID-19 can be contracted by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes – however, this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Healthcare workers and household members are at the highest risk of infection.

Who is especially affected by the COVID-19 virus?

High-Risk Groups: Elderly people and people of all ages with severe underlying health conditions — such as heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes, for example, seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness. People with a compromised immune system should take extra precaution. (Source: CDC.gov)
