Northwest Neighbors Village is hosting a vaccine clinic at Forest Hills of DC (4901 Connecticut Ave, NW). Covid (Moderna or Pfizer), Flu, RSV, Shingles and Pneumococcal shots will be available. (To receive an RSV and/or Pneumococcal shot, you must be 50 or over). When you register, please let us know in the comments which shots you would like to receive. $10 Giant gift cards will be provided to adults 60 years and over or people with disabilities who receive Covid and/or Flu Shot and complete a brief survey.
It's not too late to get your flu shot!
Here's why the COVID shot is important:
- Protection Against Severe Illness: The updated vaccines are designed to target current and evolving COVID-19 variants, offering better protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Protection from the COVID-19 vaccine decreases with time. Similar to the flu vaccine, the Covid vaccine is adjusted annually to meet the most current variants.
- Recommended for All: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get one of the updated vaccines, regardless of whether they have had previous COVID-19 infections or vaccinations.
- Long COVID: Even if you have had COVID-19 or are experiencing long COVID, getting the updated vaccine is still recommended.
- Staying Up-to-Date: Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines is crucial for protecting yourself and others from the virus. Protect your loved ones who may be vulnerable.
So for those 65+, a second dose of the vaccine is recommended 6 months after the first dose. If you are 65+ and your most recent COVID shot was before Sept 3, you would meet the 6 month timeframe where the vaccine would have worn off enough to warrant a second dose.
