(If you do not have documentation of your COVID vaccines/booster, the pharmacist can look it up on site, but you may need to wait longer for the pharmacist’s help.)

 

VACCINE TYPE:

The Giant Pharmacists will bring a sufficient amount of both the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent vaccine to meet all needs and/or preferences. After the booster shot, you will be asked to wait for 15 minutes in the Library. If you are feeling well after 15 minutes, you may leave. If you would like to linger and chat (and we hope you do!), please chat outside (as space inside is limited)!

 

PARKING & TRANSPORTATION:

Parking is limited at the Community Center and overflow parking will be on Sentinel Drive and in the Safeway Shopping Center lot.

 

ADDITONAL INFORMATION:

 

A Post-Survey. After your vaccination, one of our volunteers will try to wave you down for a quick anonymous survey. The National Council on Aging (NCOA) has requested Little Falls Village offer a survey to our vaccine clinic participants. It is not obligatory, but we do hope you will participate! More details about this new recognition of Little Falls Village by the NCOA will be coming soon.

 

Vaccination Photos. A Little Falls Village volunteer may also request to take a photo. Again, please say ‘no’ if you are at all uncomfortable. However, both the NCOA and Little Falls Village would like to get the word out that regular vaccinations are an important part of looking after the health and well-being of the community! Photos and quotes from participants will certainly help.
