The mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna have been evaluated by the FDA and have been proved both safe and effective. Because the vaccines will be shipped to hospitals and long-term care facilities first, we EXPECT to receive the vaccine in late winter 2021. Because the storage restrictions on the Moderna vaccine are less stringent, we expect to receive the vaccine made by Moderna. But of course many factors will play into when we will receive the vaccine and from whom. We will keep our patients informed as information is passed along to us.
We can administer the vaccine to any patient over the age of 50. No prescription required. A booster shot will be needed after 2-6 months. Please be aware that the vaccine will cause FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS (headache, low-grade fever, body aches) the day after administration in about half of those who receive the vaccine. Please your visit accordingly.
