AUM to offer COVID vaccines to eligible community members

BY: Savanna Pruitt

On April 8 and 9, all Alabama residents age 16 and up will be able to receive Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines at AUM’s Wellness Center. 

Appointments are available each day from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Online registration is required at least 12 hours before the desired appointment time. The vaccines are free, and health insurance is not required. After receiving the first vaccine dose, an appointment will be scheduled three weeks out for the second dose. 

Individuals who register to receive the vaccine should bring their IDs to their appointments and wear clothing that allows access to the upper arm. After receiving the vaccine, individuals will be required to wait 15 minutes before leaving the facility so AUM’s clinical staff can monitor for reactions to the vaccine. 

Registration is free and can be completed on AUM’s website. The AUM Wellness Center is located at 7420 AUM Dr., Montgomery, Ala., 36117.
