Granville-Vance Public Health is sponsoring a Pfizer Booster Vaccine Clinic on Friday October 15th from 10am to 3pm at the Vance Granville Community College Civic Center, 200 Community College Road in Henderson. No appointment is required. Covid 19 vaccine boosters are now authorized and available for eligible who had the Pfizer vaccine initially. You can get a booster if it has been at least 6 months since your second Pfizer shot, and one of the following is true:
You are 65 or older
You are 18 and older and:
- You live or work in a nursing home or other long term care residential facility
- You have a medical condition that puts you at high risk for severe illness such as obesity, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
- You work in a high risk profession, meaning you are coming into contact with a lot of people and you don’t know their vaccination status, for example, health care workers, first responders, teachers, food processing workers, retail and restaurant workers and public transportation workers
- You live or work in a place where many people live together, for example, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, migrant farm housing, dormitories or other group living settings in colleges or universities.
If you plan on getting your booster shot, you will need to bring your Covid 19 vaccination card and an insurance card, if you have it but the insurance card is not required.
