Additionally, walk-ins are welcome and will be seen on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Participants 12 and older will receive the Pfizer vaccine. Because of vaccination age restrictions, participants 12-13 years of age must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to receive the vaccine.
Booster dose vaccines will be given to these eligible people who completed the primary series at least six months ago or longer:
- Individuals 65 and older.
- Individuals 18-64 at high risk of severe COVID-19.
- Individuals 18-64 whose frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 puts them at high risk of serious complications of COVID-19, including severe COVID-19.
