Updated COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments Now Open at CentraCare Locations |
Appointments are now available to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic location near you by calling CentraCare Connect at 320-200-3200. Vaccination is recommended for all people 6 months of age and older. The updated COVID-19 vaccine more closely targets the XBB lineage of the Omicron variant and could restore protection against severe COVID-19 that may have decreased over time. It is expected to provide better protection against the variants that are currently making people sick. If you have not received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past two months, now is the time to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself this fall and winter. Also, it is safe to get your flu shot at the same time as the COVID-19 vaccine. If you'd like to receive both vaccines at your appointment, make that request when calling to schedule. learn more |
