MercyCare Monticello COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling
MercyCare Monticello is available for individuals seeking a first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, as well as a third dose for those who are immunocompromised. At this time, we have Moderna and Pfizer vaccine. We do not have any supply of Johnson & Johnson. No booster shots will be given at this time, with the exception of those whom the CDC recommends receive a third dose. According to the CDC, high-risk individuals eligible for a third dose are those who have:

- Received a stem cell transplant within the last two years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
- Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge symdrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
- Advanced or untreated HIV infection
- Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune system
1. Confirm Your Eligibility
You are not eligible to receive the vaccine at this time if you have been treated with convalescent plasma or monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19 in the past 90 days.
You must be 12 years of age to receive the Pfizer vaccine and 18 years of age to receive the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines per the FDA. If under 18, a written parental consent (PDF) and consent to treat (PDF) will need to be completed.
