Proof of Vaccination

As our communities emerge out of the pandemic, we are seeing more instances in which fully vaccinated individuals have, at times, opportunities to resume activities resembling those prior to the pandemic by indicating proof of their COVID-19 vaccination. As a Mercy patient, you can see a record of your vaccination status with Mercy MyChart – a convenient tool to help manage your health.

To see your COVID-19 vaccination information within the MyChart app, tap “Menu,” then under “My Record,” tap “COVID-19.” There, it will show your vaccination status and when expanded, it will have the details of your vaccination dates, type, location and more. It offers a secure way to track and show your vaccination as it relates to COVID-19. You can easily show your record on your mobile phone, or you can print it out from your MyChart.

This is another great reason to sign up and install the MyChart app on your mobile phone if you have not done so already. Sign up at mychart.mercycare.org.

COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling

The Mercy Vaccine Clinic 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. No booster shots will be given at this time, with the exception of those whom the CDC recommends receive a third dose. Please click on the dose below for additional information, including eligibility:

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.

1st Dose

Mercy’s Vaccination Clinic is providing first dose COVID vaccine to ages 12+ with Pfizer and 18+ with Moderna.

2nd Dose

The Pfizer vaccine series consists of two doses administered 21 days apart. The Moderna vaccine series is administered 28 days apart. While you should schedule your second dose to ensure the doses are administered as close to 21 days/28 days as possible, they do not need to be exact to the day.

Second doses administered within a grace period of ≤4 days from the recommended date for the second dose are considered valid; however, doses administered earlier do not need to be repeated. The second dose should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible. There is no maximum interval between the first and second dose for either vaccine.

3rd Dose – High-Risk Individuals Only

According to the CDC, high-risk individuals eligible for a third dose are those who are 28 days past their second dose and have:

Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
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 syndrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
Advanced or untreated HIV infection
Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune system

Per the CDC, patients will need to self-attest that they are severely to moderately immunocompromised, but proof of their condition is not required. Please bring your COVID-19 vaccination record card to your appointment; this shows when you received your COVID-19 vaccines and the type of vaccine that you received.

Booster Dose – Not Available at This Time

Mercy will not be administering COVID-19 booster vaccines until they are approved at the federal level by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices (ACIP). When booster doses are approved, this page will be updated with details, including eligibility information.

2. Important Information About Your Appointment

If you have already received a first or second dose, please bring your vaccine card to the appointment.
Please bring an ID.
Medicare patients: Please make sure you bring your red, white and blue Medicare card to the vaccination appointment. See an example here.
While the vaccine is free, your insurance may be billed for the administration of the vaccine.
Please plan to remain at the clinic for at least an additional 15 minutes after your appointment time.
