Claremont COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Clinic Coming!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced that the vaccine booster
shots are now available for Pfizer vaccine recipients who completed their initial series at least 6 months
ago. Many Claremont residents received their Pfizer vaccine series at the Clubhouse. The second
dose was given on March 22, 2021 and administered by the Safeway Pharmacy. All of those residents
are now eligible to receive the “booster” shot.
CDC guidelines for booster shots:
People aged 65 years and older; adults 50-64 years with underlying medical conditions; people
aged 18-49 years with underlying medical conditions based on their individual benefits and
risks; and people aged 18-64 years at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission
because of occupational or institutional setting.
Claremont is again fortunate to have Safeway Pharmacy as a partner with the Claremont Emergency
Preparedness Committee (CEPC) in the administration of the “booster shot”. November 2, 2021 is the
date scheduled for Claremont residents to receive the booster shot (Pfizer Only) that meet the
eligibility criteria mentioned above, and received their second Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months ago.
Safeway will also administer regular Senior Flu Shots at our Clinic for anyone interested in receiving
one.
Zone leaders will begin polling residents beginning mid-October for residents who are interested. Both
the Pfizer Covid-19 booster and also the Senior Flu Shot will be available. Your CEPC zone leader will
sign you up and guide you through the clinic on November 2.
Claremont residents are also encouraged to seek alternative sites for their booster shots (VA,
Walgreens, Safeway, etc.) however, for those who wish to receive their booster at the Clubhouse,
mark your calendars for November 2, 2021.
More information will be communicated soon.
Again, thank you Claremont Emergency Preparedness Committee, and Safeway Pharmacy.
