The vaccine clinic inside the Multipurpose Room remains open for walk-in patients, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

All who are entering CVHCS facilities must continue wearing a mask or face covering, and all will be screened for symptoms of COVID-19 infection. Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 will be redirected to the Emergency Room for assessment.

If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, please proceed to the Emergency Room for assessment before going to the testing and vaccine clinic:
