Covid Vaccines, Boosters, and Testing

-

Mendocino Coast Clinics offers drive-through vaccine clinics every Tuesday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm to anyone aged 12 and up at the white tent at 205 South Street in Fort Bragg. No appointmen­t is needed. First dose, second dose, and boosters are all available. Boosters are now available for children aged 12 to 18 if it has been at least 5 months since their second dose of Pfizer or at least two months since they received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Parental consent is required for anyone under 18 to receive a vaccine.

Vaccines are available by appointmen­t for children ages 5 to 11. Call Mendocino Coast Clinics at (707) 964-1251 or (707) 964-5696 to schedule your child.

Surveillan­ce testing for people who do not have COVID symptoms is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. No appointmen­t is needed. These tests are shipped to a central laboratory for processing, so testing must stop at 1:00 sharp to meet the Fed Ex deadlines. Results are usually available approximat­ely 72 to 96 hours after the tests are received by the lab. If you are experienci­ng COVID symptoms, please call Mendocino Coast Clinics at (707) 964-1251 to arrange for symptomati­c testing. Please do not arrive early for testing and vaccine events, and follow traffic signage and guidance. Your understand­ing and cooperatio­n are appreciate­d.

The Adventist Health team has Moderna and the J&J vaccines all available through the Primary Care team located at 721 River Dr., Suite A in Fort Bragg. To make an appointmen­t, call the Adventist Health offices at 707-961-4631 and press option 3 to set a time and date available to receive yours.
