From Big Sur Health Center

With Monterey County lifting the tier system to qualify for Covid-19 vaccines, Big Sur Health Center is now able to vaccinate anyone 18 years of age and older.

Vaccine clinics will be held on Saturdays.  Due to limited vaccine supplies, we are able to offer appointments to the following groups:• Patients of Big Sur Health Center• Residents of Big Sur, including Palo Colorado Canyon• Those who work in Big Sur

We are currently administering the Moderna vaccine.

There has been considerable concern regarding recent reports of a blood clot disorder following the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.   This is very rare and all cases have occurred within the first 3 weeks following administration. There have been no reports of blood clots or other serious side effects with the Moderna vaccine.

If you received the J&J vaccine more recently and are currentlyexperiencing severe headaches, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath, you should contact your health care provider and seek medical treatment immediately.

To schedule a vaccine appointment, please call Big Sur Health Center at 667-2580.

  • Vaccination is crucial in ensuring overall health, well-being and saving lives. Thank you Big Sur Health Center👏❤️

  • So, if you get vaccines, you will have to get them on a yearly basis from here on out?

    No thanks.

  • Hi Birdman - unknown at this time how long the immunity from the vaccine(s) lasts, so we don't know. If COVID-19 is like the flu, yes, shots every year. If COVID-19 is like, say, smallpox, getting a high percentage of people vaccinated could banish it forever. Getting the shot now will help us banish it, and save a lot of lives. Maybe your own.

  • Bruce everything I have read is that this is in fact like the flu. It's not going away. If you have some credibale scientific studys you can link me too,I'm always happy to research. Bit everything I have read is that this is simply not going away and that in fact this will become a yearly or bi yearly vacination. If people want it, that's great. If people don't, they should not be inclined to do so to protect people who should be protected by being vaccinated.. Seems pretty simple really.
    Il stick to fresh air,sunshine and my faith in God.

    I have a feeling this virus is already mutating away from the vaccine base. This is far from over.
