Vaccinations are now open to the general public. All individuals 18 years of age and older are eligible to receive their vaccine at Coal Country Community Health Center.
The following vaccines are available at all CCCHC locations:

If you are interested in receiving the vaccine, call CCCHC to be placed on a wait list. You do not have to be an established patient of CCCHC to be eligible.
There are no out-of-pocket costs for those receiving the vaccine. Private insurance companies and government insurance programs like Medicare will fully cover the cost of the vaccine. For those that are uninsured, it will be fully covered.
