We are thrilled to partner with CVS Pharmacy to offer our residents the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine right here on campus. While Carolina Village is not mandating that residents receive this or any other COVID-19 vaccination, we do encourage you to do so.
When Will the On-Campus Vaccine Be Offered:
We are awaiting word from CVS as to when the vaccine will be offered at Carolina Village. As soon as we have a date in hand, IL residents will receive a printed notice at their door and we will send an email such as this.
Who Is Eligible to Receive the Vaccine Right Now:
Based on current North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services guidelines, individuals who are age 65+ qualify for the vaccine in this phase. If you are not yet 65, please do not sign up for this vaccine clinic.
How the Vaccination Process Will Work:
The vaccination process will have multiple steps:
-
If you are interested in receiving this vaccine, complete the HIGHLIGHTED sections of this CVS form and return it to the locked box at the front desk by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, January 25. If you would like help completing this form, contact Gina Roberts, Community Resource Coordinator, at 828-233-0872. You will complete the screening questions portion of the form when you check in on the day of the vaccine.
-
When we have a vaccine date, you will receive a follow-up phone call from a Carolina Village staff member with your appointment. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME. The Moderna vaccine requires two doses, one taken 28 days after the first dose. Please plan accordingly.
-
On the day of your vaccine, come to the check-in station in the Fireplace Lounge no earlier than 5 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. BRING YOUR MEDICARE/INSURANCE CARDS WITH YOU. Wear your face mask and practice social distancing. Carolina Village and CVS staff members will complete your vaccination process.
If You Have Questions:
If you have questions about the vaccine and whether you should receive it, please speak with your healthcare provider. The NCDHHS also offers a toll-free COVID-19 information hotline at 1-877-490-6642.
We ask for your patience throughout this process. Thank you.
