OSAGE RESERVATION, OKLA. (November 22, 2021) – Following Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations, the Wahzhazhe Health Center (WZZHC) has expanded the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 and Moderna Vaccine for individuals 18 years of age after completion of an FDA-authorized or approved primary COVID-19 vaccine or vaccine series. Individuals with questions related to COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine, the COVID-19 booster, or scheduling a test, can call the WZZHC Covid-19 Hotline at (918) 287.0028. WZZHC is located at 715 Grandview Ave. in Pawhuska, Okla. The Center will be closed on Thursday, November 25 and Friday, November 26, 2021. 

Individuals should bring their CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card to their booster shot appointment so your provider can fill in the information about your booster dose. If you did not receive a card at your first appointment, contact the vaccination site where you got your first shot or your state health department to find out how you can get a card. You may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a booster shot. Some people may prefer the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots. WZZHC has all three COVID-19 vaccinations available.
