COVID-19 vaccines
expanded to
out-patient locations

STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

Bassett Healthcare announced in a press release Thursday, July 1, that vaccines are available in out-patient locations, such as primary care and pediatric clinics.

Patients 12 and up are eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine at these locations; 18 and up can receive Moderna or Johnson and Johnson as well as Pfizer.

“Obtaining vaccines in our clinics is a wonderful stride towards improving access for all our patients to this life-saving vaccine,” Gretchen Hodgdon, MD, Bassett Healthcare Network’s division chief of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care, said in a press release. “This greatly broadens our connections to patients and families who may be eager to obtain the vaccines in the comfort of their own doctor’s offices. My hope is that every eligible patient will turn to their trusted providers for support, education, and reassurance. We are all in this together.”
