Individuals age 12 and up are now eligible to receive the vaccine.
Vaccinations with Moderna for adults 18 and older are offered 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday-Friday, with extended hours until 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Vaccinations with Pfizer for youth age 12-17 are only offered 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursdays.
