The focus of COVID-19 vaccination efforts at Augusta Health has shifted from the large-scale, on-campus mass vaccination clinics to smaller, more convenient neighborhood-based clinics throughout the community.
Large clinics will still be scheduled regularly, but in half-day increments.
Vaccinations in primary care offices
Vaccinations for COVID-19 continue in all Augusta Medical Group primary care offices. Patients who prefer to receive a vaccination from their personal physician should contact their doctor’s office to be scheduled into the next available vaccination appointment block.
Community-based clinics
Augusta Health also provides off-campus, community-based clinics in partnership with local organizations, churches and schools. The number of these clinics has increased significantly.
This week, these community clinics are scheduled. Walk-ins/Drive-ins are welcome at community clinics:
Wednesday, Aug. 11: Bluegrass in the Park at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton from 6-9 p.m.; Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are available.
Community organizations that would like to partner with Augusta Health for a Vaccination Clinic can contact [email protected] for more information on the requirements.
Large on-campus vaccination clinics
Appointments are preferred for clinics. Walk-ins are welcome.
