The Board of Directors of the Mad River Valley Health Center, Inc. is pleased to announce that once again this year the Shaw's Pharmacy in Waterbury will be hosting a vaccination clinic here in the Valley.

The clinic is to be held on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 9:00AM to 12:00PM at the Waitsfield United Church of Christ, 4355 Main Street, Waitsfield. The vaccinations to be offered include Flu, COVID, RSV, Shingles, Prevnar (pneumonia), and Tdap (tetanus). This year, Shaw's will be providing an online link for people to sign up for vaccine time slots. Time slots will be offered in 15 minute increments starting at 9:00AM. When completing the online link you will be asked to select which vaccines you wish to receive and the time slot you would prefer.

Anyone seeking to obtain a vaccine must have health insurance. Note that Medicare and private insurance will be accepted. The Shaw’s Osco Pharmacy has provided additional information clarifying that Medicaid does cover the cost of vaccination for individuals over the age of 18. Individuals 19 and older, who receive health care insurance coverage through Medicaid, are eligible to register for this vaccination clinic. Medicaid will only cover the cost of vaccinations of individuals 18 or younger if the vaccination is done in a provider’s office. If the vaccination is given in any pharmacy, Medicaid will NOT cover the cost and the vaccination must be paid for by the individuals being vaccinated.

Note also that sign-ups are REQUIRED for anyone interested in getting any of these vaccines.

When signing up for the clinic, you will also be asked to complete an Informed Consent form. If you do not feel comfortable completing that form online, you can download and print the attached consent form. Otherwise you will need to complete that form at the clinic.
