Important information for a pleasant vaccination experience:

• RAHC is administering Moderna’s Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine to adults. This vaccine is approved for people 18 years and older.
  • The Spikevax/Moderna vaccine will be given in 2 DOSES, 4 WEEKS APART. We request that patients commit to receiving both doses.
  • The CDC recommends an mRNA COVID-19 booster shot at least 5 months after completing your primary COVID-19 vaccination series of the Spikevax/Moderna and/or Comirnaty/Pfizer vaccine and at least two months after receiving a J&J/Jansset COVID-19 vaccine.
  • You are eligible for a second booster shot, using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, at least 4 months after your first booster shot if you are:
    • Age 12+ years and moderately or severely immunocompromised.
    • Age 50+ years (regardless of whether or not you are immunocompromised).
    • Age 18–49 years and not moderately or severely immunocompromised and received Janssen (J&J) COVID-19 Vaccine as both the primary dose and booster dose.
    • If you are 18-49 years and received a J&J primary dose and an mRNA booster, no 2nd booster is currently recommended.
    • If you are age 50+ and received a J&J primary dose and an mRNA booster, you can receive a 2nd mRNA booster 4 months after the previous booster dose.

      These recommendations allow people who may be at increased risk to severe outcomes due to COVID-19 to receive additional protection. People should assess their own personal risk and are encouraged to consult with a healthcare provider on what would be best for their situation.

• RAHC is administering Pfizer’s Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine to teens 12-17 years old and the Pfizer vaccine to youth ages 5-11.
  • The Pfizer vaccines will be given in 2 doses, 3 WEEKS apart. We request that patients commit to receiving both doses.
  • The CDC recommends that youth ages 5-11 years old should receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shot at least 5 months after completing their COVID-19 primary series.
  • The CDC recommends that teens ages 12 to 17 years old should receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shot at least 5 months after completing their Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 primary series.
• There is a 15-30 minute observation period once the dose is administered.
• Please wear clothes that allow easy access to your shoulder area.
• Please do not take selfies when getting the shot.
• People who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 are more likely to experience mild COVID-19 like symptoms as a result of the vaccine, which is not an adverse reaction, rather normal signs that your body is building protection.
• Be sure to bring your Vaccination Record Card if visiting for your 2nd dose, booster shot or additional primary dose of the vaccine.
• Bring a photo ID.
• Bring your health insurance card.

Remember:

• It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. COVID-19 vaccines that require 2 shots may not protect you until a week or two after your second shot.
• It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often.

How much is the vaccine going to cost? Am I going to get a bill?

There is no cost to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. RAHC doesn’t bill for the vaccine but does bill for the administration of the vaccine which is covered by insurance. Financial assistance may be available for eligible patients, please refer to our sliding fee discount program.
