No charge for COVID-19 vaccine

Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency officer Rebecca Burns, wishes to remind the public there should never be a charge for COVID-19 vaccine.

Burns said the vaccine has been purchased by the federal government. In some cases, however, the provider may bill for an administration fee.

Anyone receiving the vaccine from the local health department will be billed nothing, not even an administration fee, she added.

Appointments can be made for a COVID vaccine through the local health department online at bhsj.org/events/341.
