Vaccine and Resources
Last Update-November 22, 2022
Bivalent COVID19 vaccine available at KWC-CB
New booster shots are available to protect against COVID-19. The recently authorized bivalent booster shots offer increased protections against the original strain of COVID-19 and the currently circulating variants, limiting the worst affects and outcomes and supporting an improved immune response.
The Ko-Kwel Wellness Center-Coos Bay currently has a supply of the Moderna bivalent vaccine available for those 12+ years and older. The supply is available to Coquille Indian Tribal members, their households, KWC patients, and CIT employees while supplies last. The bivalent vaccine is for those who have not had a COVID19 vaccine within the last two months.
Those interested in receiving a bivalent booster can call the Medical Clinic at 541-888-9494, ext.1 to confirm eligibility and schedule an appointment.
