Vaccinations are by appointment only and only available for Northampton County residents, age eighteen and over. Patients can choose from all three vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.

 <\/p>\n

As of June 18th<\/sup>, sixty-eight people have received at least one shot at the testing site.<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile rates of infection and hospitalizations from COVID-19 are dropping, residents should be aware that the virus is still active in our area,\u201d says Lamont McClure. \u201cThe positive rate among people tested at our drive-through center continues to hover close to 22%.\u201d<\/div>\n

    A Physician\u2019s order is not required for a COVID-19 test.

All testing will be through HNL Lab Medicine unless insurance requires an alternate laboratory. Participants should bring a photo ID and their insurance card, if they have one, with them to the testing site.<\/div>\n
