AR Gould to Offer Vaccines in Schools & Saturday Family Clinic
In an effort to make COVID-19 vaccines more accessible, particularly to teens and 12-year-olds, Northern Light AR Gould Hospital is taking their clinic on the road to several local schools and offering a special Saturday family clinic in its Pediatrics practice.
“First it was about getting shots in arms as quickly as we could. For that, a mass vaccine clinic was the answer. Now it’s time to make a change so we can reach those pockets of people who couldn’t make it to that location during the hours offered. With the recent announcement that Pfizer can now be given to those age 12 and over, it’s also time to take extra steps to get the youth in our community taken care of,” explained Jay Reynolds, MD, senior physician executive at the hospital.
