Wayne Memorial Opens Appointments for Bivalent COVID Booster Clinics

Wayne Memorial Community Health Centers (WMCHC) will be offering both Pfizer and Moderna bivalent vaccines starting September 21st in Honesdale and September 28th in Lords Valley. In order to meet demand, WMCHC decided to reopen its public clinics specifically for these booster doses.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends bivalent booster doses (Pfizer-BioNTech) for anyone 12 years and older and (Moderna) 18 years and older who has completed their primary series and is at least two months out from their primary or first-round booster vaccination.

Booster shots for adults and children age 12 and over will be offered at the Stourbridge Professional Complex, 600 Maple Avenue, Suite 4, in Honesdale on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month and at the Pike County Training Center, 135 Pike County Blvd in Lords Valley the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays.

“The clinics will be held on Wednesdays through the end of October,” stated Erica Brown, development manager, WMCHC. “If patient demand remains high, we will extend public clinics into November. Otherwise we may transition to giving them only at the scheduled office clinics.”

COVID booster appointments must be made online by visiting Wayne Memorial’s website, www.wmh.org and clicking on SCHEDULE A COVID VACCINE – Wayne Memorial Hospital (wmh.org) Patients are reminded to bring their vaccine card, insurance card and ID.

WMCHC continues to offer pediatric doses of COVID 19 vaccine for ages 6 months and older at its pediatric offices and the primary series vaccine for adults at most of its Family Health Centers.
