Second dose of COVID-19 vaccine to be available at VMH

Allamakee County Public Health administered over 500 Pfizer and 80 Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations Thursday and Friday, March 11 and 12. Those first dose recipients who received the Pfizer vaccine at Veterans Memorial Hospital on those days need to return to the hospital for their second/booster dose either Thursday, April 1, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or Friday, April 2, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Both the Main Entrance and lower ICN Entrance of the hospital will be open to walk in for  the booster dose (see schedule information at right).

Those individuals who received the Moderna first/primary dose March 12 will need to return to the main entrance of the hospital for their second/booster dose Friday, April 9, between 1-6 p.m. Everyone must bring their vaccination card with them so the second/booster dose can be documented.

Those who are uncertain whether they received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for their first dose should check their vaccination card for this information. There will not be any reminder phone calls for these clinics and no first/primary doses will be administered these days.
