COVID-19 Vaccine

The CDC no longer issues a universal COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for all Americans. The decision to vaccinate is now made in consultation with a healthcare provider, who can discuss a person's specific risk factors.

Visit the CDC website for more information.

  • COVID Vaccinations are given to beneficiaries ages 18+ on a walk-in basis at the Family Medicine Residency Clinic. The FMRC's immunization hours are Monday-Friday from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m.
