Are you eligible for a booster vaccination?
Veterans interested in a COVID-19 vaccination at either the Amarillo or Lubbock campus can schedule an appointment by calling 806-355-9703.
Also, immune compromised patients can also now schedule booster shots with a Moderna COVID-19 third dose. All third dose shots will need to be pre-scheduled.
Individuals that are immune compromised are people with medical conditions or people receiving treatments that are associated with moderate to severe immune compromise, such as the following:
Active or recent treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies (currently getting treatment, such as chemotherapy, for cancer)
Receipt of solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy
Receipt of CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy)
Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (these would be diagnosed by your medical team and often are conditions someone is born with - for example, DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich syndromes)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection (people with HIV who are not on treatment or who have a low CD4 count)
For more information to find out if you're eligible for a booster shot talk to your provider today!
