Schedule A COVID-19 Vaccination
It's Up To You.
Schedule a COVID-19 Vaccination or Booster
Appointments are preferred. Making an appointment will ensure you are able to receive your dose of COVID vaccine. We cannot guarantee that we will have vaccine or staff available to accommodate walk-ins.
When scheduling an appointment, you may select your preferred brand of vaccine. We are unable to guarantee all 3 brands at our community clinics that do not take place at one of our offices. The brand of vaccine available at each community clinic will be listed next to the clinic.
If you need help scheduling an appointment, please call our office at 517-543-2430 or 269-945-9516. Otherwise, we offer the convenience of online appointment scheduling.

General & Pediatric Vaccine Scheduling
COVID Vaccine for Children 5-11 Years Old
CDC recommends everyone ages 5 and older get a COVID-19 vaccine to help protect against COVID-19. People aged 5 to 11 can now receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Parent/Guardian is required to be present at the vaccination appointment for anyone under the age of 18.
COVID Vaccine for Children 12-17 Years Old
Youth aged 12-17 must receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Parent/Guardian is required to be present at the vaccination appointment for anyone under the age of 18.
Booster Doses of the COVID Vaccine
Booster doses are different than additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
A booster dose refers to another dose of a vaccine given after the protection provided by the original shot(s) has begun to decrease over time. The booster is designed to help people maintain their level of immunity for longer. Anyone 12 years old or older can receive a booster dose.
If you received Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna
When to get your 1st Booster:
• At least 5 months after your Pfizer or Moderna primary series is completed.
When to get your 2nd Booster:
• People ages 12 through 17 years of age who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may choose to receive a 2nd booster dose using only Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months after the 1st booster dose.
• People ages 18 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may choose to receive a 2nd booster dose using only Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months after the 1st booster dose.
• Adults ages 50 years and older who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised may choose to receive a 2nd booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine at least 4 months after the 1st booster dose.
Which booster should you get?
• Any of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States.
• Persons aged 12 and older: Pfizer-BioNTech 12+ Vaccine
If you received Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen
When to get a booster:
• At least 2 months after your primary series is completed.
• People ages 18 through 49 years who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised and who received Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 Vaccine as both their primary series dose and booster dose may receive a second booster dose using only an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna*) at least 4 months after the first Janssen booster dose.
Which booster should you get?
• Any of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States
• Persons aged 12 and older: Pfizer-BioNTech 12+ Vaccine
Immunocompromised Individuals Who Need an Additional Dose
The ACIP and CDC approved the use of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations to administer the third course of these vaccines to immunocompromised people. Additional doses are only approved for immunocompromised individuals who received either Pfizer or Moderna. Additional doses of J&J have not been approved at this time. The additional dose must be the same as the primary series and must occur at least 28 days after the last dose of the mRNA vaccine.
An additional dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) is identical to the first two doses. It can help protect people with moderately or severely weakened immune systems who did not have a strong enough response to the first two doses of one of the mRNA vaccines. Such people can get a third dose as soon as 28 days after a second dose.
For more information please visit CDC's page on COVID-19 Vaccines for Moderately to Severe Immunocompromised People. If you are unsure whether you should receive an additional dose, please contact your health care provider before scheduling.
As of 1/6/22 an additional dose of Pfizer will be available for those who are immunocompromised and at least 5 years old.
Interested in getting the 1-Dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) Vaccine?
Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine: CDC and FDA have recommended the use of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine resume in the United States, effective April 23, 2021. However, women younger than 50 years old especially should be aware of the rare risk of blood clots with low platelets after vaccination, and that other COVID-19 vaccines are available where this risk has not been seen. If you received a J&J/Janssen vaccine, here is what you need to know. Read the CDC/FDA statement.
