Drive Through Clinic FAQ
Q. Does it cost any money?
A. No, all COVID-19 vaccines are provided free of charge.
Q. Do I need to put in health insurance information? Can I be vaccinated without health insurance?
A. No insurance information is needed or required.
Q. What vaccine will be provided?
A. Janssen (Johnson & Johnson available for those 18 years of age and older) and Pfizer for those interested or under the age of 18.
Q. How old does my child need to be to participate?
A. Each vaccine recipient needs to be 12 years of age or older at the time of the clinic, June 19th 2021.
Q. If I choose Pfizer, when will I receive my second dose?
A. The Pfizer vaccine doses are provided 3 weeks (21 days) apart and there will be a second dose clinic at MCH on July 10th – second dose appointments can be booked on site after your first dose. You can also log into VINI and choose a location/date/time of your choice.
Q. Can my 16/17 year old go to the vaccine clinic on their own?
A. Yes, if you have completed the COVID-19 vaccine consent in VINI prior to the appointment.
The CDC suggests these steps to help prepare for your child’s vaccination visit:
· Get tips for how to support your child before, during, and after the visit.
· Your child will need a second shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 3 weeks after their first shot.
· Talk to your child before the visit about what to expect.
· Tell the doctor or nurse if your child has any allergies to any ingredient in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.
· Comfort your child during the appointment.
· To prevent fainting and injuries related to fainting, your child should be seated or lying down during vaccination and for 15 minutes after the vaccine is given.
· After your child’s COVID-19 vaccination, you will be asked to stay for 15–30 minutes so your child can be observed in case they have a severe allergic reaction and need immediate treatment.
MCH fully endorses the CDC’s guideline and urges parents to vaccinate their children.

[0] => It’s been said that home is where the heart is. If you ask David Lang of Jaffrey, he’ll tell you it’s also at Monadnock Community Hospital.
David’s wife Pamela had been battling Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) when she suddenly lost consciousness at home. In severe respiratory distress, she was rushed to MCH and put on life support. After a week in intensive care, she started rehab with the hope of becoming sufficiently ambulatory to return home.
Pamela showed some improvement, but her oxygen level was quite low due to the extent of lung deterioration. Eventually, it became obvious that her life expectancy could be measured in days or even hours.
“The Hospital had allowed me to sleep in an adjoining bed for more than two weeks rather than putting Pam in a separate Hospice unit,” recalls David. “They also provided meals to me, a service above and beyond what I would have expected.”
Aware of Pamela’s wish to spend her final days at home, MCH arranged for her to return home under the guidance of a home hospice program. “After we arrived home, she had a good meal, watched some TV, went to bed, and never woke up,” says David. “She died next to me in bed, a peaceful ending to a difficult disease.”
David says he is forever grateful to MCH for their efforts during his wife’s illness. “The doctors, nurses, and support staff could not have been more responsive and caring. I hope the community realizes what a significant asset we have and continues to give MCH the support it needs in these challenging times.”
“The doctors, nurses, and support staff could not have been more responsive and caring.” — David Lang, Jaffrey
