We are currently vaccinating anyone ages 12 and older. You should get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Read more guidance from Mayo Clinic.

Guidance for your vaccination appointment

For your vaccination appointments:

• Bring your insurance card with you to your appointment*.
• Arrive on time (no more than five minutes early).
• Wear a mask.
• Expect your appointment to last 10–15 minutes. Please be aware that persons with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to eggs or any other substance should plan to stay to be observed for 30 minutes after vaccination.
• Schedule an appointment for your second dose of vaccine before leaving.
• Children under 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to their appointment to provide consent for the vaccination. Alternatively, the child can bring a signed consent form completed by their parent or guardian. In the “Limitations” box on the form, please write “Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.”

*The COVID-19 vaccine will be free. However, vaccine administration charges will be billed to insurance. We anticipate that the fee for vaccine administration will be covered by the payer at 100%, and patients will not be billed for any unpaid charges. Patients and staff will need to bring their insurance card when they receive the vaccine.

After your vaccination appointment:

• Continue to wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your hands often.
• Monitor for signs of an allergic reaction, including hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. If you have any of these signs, call 911 or have someone drive you to the nearest Emergency Department.
• Monitor yourself for possible side effects.
