ARC has received its first shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Based on the CDC and state and local health department instructions, we have begun to vaccinate doctors and staff. As we receive additional vaccine shipments, we will expand distribution to patients over 65 years old; those with increased risk due to chronic health conditions; and essential workers, including teachers in accordance with current federal and local health department guidelines. We will make every effort to expand coverage as well as update our patients and the general public as we receive additional supplies.
We appreciate everyone's patience, support, and understanding as we all embark on this nationwide effort to combat COVID. National and state leadership predict that there will be a three- to six-month process to vaccinate our most vulnerable and at-risk citizens first. That will be followed with vaccine for all others. ARC will do everything in its power to expedite vaccinations for all.
If you are not a patient at ARC, please schedule an in-clinic or telemedicine appointment to Establish Patient Care so we have a record of your medical history and can notify you when you are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination.
Stay safe
It is critically important to continue wearing a face mask, washing your hands, and social distancing even after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination.
