MCMH COVID-19 Vaccine

An important development in the last few days has been that people age 12 and older may now get the vaccine. This age group constitutes about 89% of the MCMH patient population. Please let your patients know about the vaccine.

Here is the link for the vaccine finder website, on which people may find a location where they can get vaccinated:

If you have already received the COVID-19 vaccine, don’t throw away your face mask just yet. Although your body is building up antibodies and immunity to the novel coronavirus, a proper mask, social distancing and hand washing are still necessary to curb the spread of COVID-19. In addition, some of the new variants of COVID-19 may not respond as well to the vaccines, and wearing masks and social distancing are two of our best options to curb the spread of the virus.
