  • Spanish-, Portuguese-, and English-speaking nurses will be available each week.
  • No IDs or insurance are required. (Insurance is accepted to cover costs of vaccine administration for those who have coverage.)
  • RVNAhealth will be offering a choice of either the Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Second dose appointments for Pfizer vaccines will be scheduled after the first dose.
  • All those receiving vaccines are required to remain for monitoring for 15-30 minutes following administration.
