Out of an abundance of caution, NOTCH is following State and Federal lead to put a hold on this week’s Jansen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine administration. Please click the following link for more information from the CDC and FDA:
The state will reschedule people with appointments for J&J vaccine this week, but that will take time. People who have appointments for J&J vaccines are advised to go online to reschedule or call the vaccine call center at 855-722-7878.
Moderna and Pfizer events are not affected and will continue as scheduled.
NOTCH offices remain open to provide essential medical and dental care (including Medication Assisted Treatment). 24 Hour on-call service is available by dialing the NOTCH Location where you receive care. Please watch our NOTCH Facebook page for up-to-date messages.
It’s extremely important for everyone to address health issues proactively to avoid hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic. NOTCH patients are encouraged to call our offices if they are sick. Staff is present at each location and will work with patients to determine the safest method to address immediate health concerns of individuals. Telehealth appointments can be delivered to a patient using any telephone (audio only). Patients with access to technology may use a cell phone or computer to receive a link for a “virtual” appointment.
