Q: What if I have had a second dose appointment that was canceled this week due to weather and utility infrastructure issues?

A: All second dose vaccines have remained safe on backup generator power. Patients who had appointments scheduled anytime between Monday, Feb. 15 through Friday, Feb. 19 that were canceled will be contacted the week of Feb. 22 to reschedule their second dose vaccination appointment.

The second dose of the vaccine is still effective and safe if administered beyond the CDC's recommended 21 (Pfizer) or 28 (Moderna) day wait period from the first dose. Patients who were unable to get vaccinated this week still have time to receive their second dose and will not lose immunity built up from the first dose. You can read the CDC's vaccine FAQs HERE. We apologize for any inconvenience these weather and utility-related cancellations this week may cause.
