It may be a short week here at MCC, but we are making it count! We’re jumping into the last week of the year with extra walk in clinic slots and COVID vaccines and testing.
We will have an extra walk in clinic on the morning of Tuesday, December 27, starting at 8:45 am. We will be giving COVID vaccines under the tent from 2:00 to 5:00 that day.
COVID testing is available under the tent Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Just drive up and we’ll take care of you.
Just a reminder that we will be closed on Monday, January 2, but we’ll be back in action on Tuesday, January 3 with COVID vaccines and testing. Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year!
With all the colds, flus, and viruses going around lately, it’s only appropriate that this week is National Handwashing Awareness Week! It’s the perfect time to remember the importance of hand hygiene to help stop the spread of these seasonal illnesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, handwashing can prevent 1 in 5 infections, including the flu.
Experts recommend washing your hands with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds. Follow these easy steps: Wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry.
As for us, our team is under the tent from 9 am to 1 pm Monday through Friday, testing for COVID. Just drive on up and we will take care of you.
Tuesday afternoons, we are giving COVID vaccines from 2:00 to 5:00 pm, no appointment needed. These are the bivalent vaccines, which are targeted to be effective against the Omicron variant. If your child needs a COVID booster, call us at 964-1251 to get your little one scheduled.
Have fun and learn how to be prepared at a super fun event for all ages on Sunday, December 4 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the Caspar Community Center. See you there!
