COVID Vaccines: MAHEC community pharmacies can administer the COVID vaccine to patients 18 and older without a prescription. Patients 18-64 require a high-risk condition that is documented through a self-attestation form available at the pharmacy. Patients 65 and older do not require an attestation.

Watch for more information about vaccine availability in our clinics in the coming days!
