COUNTY News:

…Seniors Vaccine Clinic by appointment only

Los Alamos County, working in cooperation with the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department, will host a special COVID-19 vaccine clinic Jan. 30-31 at the senior centers in Los Alamos and White Rock.

In order to qualify for this clinic, participants must:

• Be 75 years or older;
  
• Be pre-registered for the vaccine on the DOH website – appointment is REQUIRED – no walk ups without an appointment will be accommodated due to the limited amount of vaccine that will be provided specifically for those who have registered in advance;
  
• Be able to arrive at the vaccine clinic by vehicle – no walk ups, this will be a drive-through only clinic;
  
• Be able to complete a consent form prior to receiving the vaccine; and
  
• Be able to remain on site in the vehicle 15 minutes after the vaccine injection, to be observed for any allergic reaction.
  

The drive-through clinic for the Betty Ehart Senior Center in Los Alamos is set for Jan. 30; the White Rock clinic at their local senior center will be Jan. 31.

No times have been assigned for the duration of the clinic; instead, participants will receive notice of their location and appointment time for the vaccine to be administered only after they have pre-registered.

Those without computer access to register in advance should call the toll-free DOH number 1-855-600-3453, press option 0 for vaccine questions, and then option 4 for tech support to register.    

Those participating or assisting seniors attending the clinic are required to wear a face covering.

All participants will remain in their cars the entire duration of their appointment.
