Due to the continued threat of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, Mountain Valley Manor will be offering flu shots for all residents and staff here at the facility. In previous years we have allowed residents to use their own physicians and other clinics at their discretion for their annual flu shot. We have discussed the risks associated with residents leaving the facility and being exposed to the general public for a flu shot. All physicians are in agreement that this would be a counter productive idea and having a flu clinic in the facility is a safer option.
On October 8th the pharmacist from Woodstock Apothecary will be present at the facility to give all residents their flu vaccinations. Woodstock Apothecary will be responsible for obtaining any doctor’s orders and billing insurance companies for each resident. Residents will be responsible for any copays and will be billed accordingly. Copies of the vaccination record will be sent to the resident’s primary physician for their office records and a copy is maintained here at Mountain Valley Manor.
All residents are encouraged to receive their shot at this time. With the continued concerns regarding COVID-19 it is reasonable for all residents to protect themselves from further illness.
If you have any questions regarding flu shots, please feel free to reach out to Jennifer during Monday through Friday from 8am to 2pm. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
