The Marion County Health Department will hold a special immunization clinic next Tuesday, November 7th, after receiving their first shipment of this fall’s COVID-19 Moderna Vaccinations.
The clinic is for anyone six months or older.
The fee for the updated Moderna vaccine (Monvalent Xbb.1.5 variant) is $175.
Health Department Administrator Melissa Mallow says they accept Medicare B, Managed Care Plans, and most Private Insurance Plans. She reports Medicare and Medicaid will cover the cost of the vaccine. Mallow suggests checking with your insurance carrier on if your policy will cover the cost.
You must have an appointment to receive the vaccination at the clinic. Please call the Salem office at 618-548-3878 to make an appointment. No walk-ins will be allowed due to the limited number of vaccinations available.
