Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination at Randolph Community Clinic:
Am I eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?
See the information above about the phases of vaccine distribution. Currently, if you are over the age of 65, you are eligible to receive the vaccine at Randolph Community Clinic.
How do I schedule a vaccine appointment?
Right now, we are scheduling all COVID-19 vaccine appointments over the phone (920-326-5060). In the future, we hope to offer an online scheduling option as well. Additionally, you should not schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment within 14 days of receiving any other vaccinations.
How soon will I get my vaccine?
We are currently scheduling vaccine appointments 1 week in advance, and we will keep a waiting list of eligible patients for the following weeks. Our clinic finds out how many vaccine doses we will receive every Friday and may need to make adjustments to the vaccine schedule for the following week based on vaccine availability.
What do I need to do before my appointment?
You need to review the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the vaccine you will be given. The EUAs for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines are posted above. We will let you know whether you will be given the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccine when we schedule your appointment.
What should I expect at my appointment?
Come at the time of your appointment and call when you arrive. You will be assigned a socially-distanced seat in the waiting room to review the EUA until it is your time to receive the vaccine. In order to vaccinate as many people as possible, we are giving vaccines at the same time that we care for our clinic patients, so please be patient as we do our best to take care of everyone in a safe and timely manner.
How long will my appointment last?
Please plan to be at the clinic for at least 30 minutes, including time for observation after you receive your vaccine.
How much will my appointment cost?
It will not cost you anything to receive the vaccine. If you have insurance, Randolph Community Clinic will charge a $50 standard vaccination fee to your insurance, and you will not be responsible for any copays.
Do I need to get a second dose of the vaccine?
Yes. Both of the available vaccines need a second dose after 3-4 weeks in order to achieve the 95% effectiveness rate. Your second appointment will be scheduled before you leave the clinic.
Should everyone get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Yes. There are no medical conditions which would prevent you from getting the COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, people with chronic health conditions are strongly encouraged to get the vaccine. Even if you have already been infected with COVID-19 and may have some natural immunity, we do not know how long that protection will last, and you are still recommended to get the vaccine. Getting vaccinated will protect you, and will also help protect people around you who may be more vulnerable to severe illness from COVID-19.
Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe?
The Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have both been shown to be safe and effective based on the manufacturers' research and findings from large clinical trials. In addition, millions of people in the United States have already received these vaccines. Our clinic is prepared to treat anaphylaxis and allergic reactions which may rarely occur after the COVID-19 vaccination. Click here for more information from the CDC about vaccine safety.
How does the vaccine work?
The vaccines that we offer are mRNA vaccines. mRNA vaccines cannot give you COVID-19 and do not use the live virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccines do not affect or interact with your DNA in any way. Click here for more information from the CDC about mRNA vaccines.
If I am not a patient at Randolph Community Clinic, where can I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Randolph Community Clinic has a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine, so we have very few openings for non-patients. However, there are other vaccination sites in the area, including Marshfield Medical Center (Beaver Dam), Prairie Ridge Health (Columbus), and Dodge County Health Department. For the Marshfield Medical Center, call 1-855-908-5029. For Prairie Ridge Health, visit this link. For Dodge County Health Department, call 1-920-386-4830.
