The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

COVID Vaccine for Children in Primary Care Clinics
The CDC Vaccine for Children Program (VFC) has made some changes; since COVID vaccine is now considered a "routine" vaccine for all ages, our alternate protocol we had in place (carrying at VFM and Covington only) for non-routine vaccines does not apply any longer. The requirement is for all VFC-enrolled providers to offer all recommended routine vaccines which includes the COVID vaccine at all primary care clinics that participate in the VFC program.
All Primary Care Clinics began carrying Moderna pediatric COVID vaccine, (for patients 6 months – 18 years), as of Feb. 12. No adult COVID vaccine will be carried.
