Palisades Village is partnering with Giant Pharmacy to offer shingles vaccines. The shots will be done OUTSIDE with masks and social distancing required. Seats will be provided while you wait for your vaccination. In the event of inclement weather, the shots will be administered indoors with separate entrances and exits. Accommodations are available.

You will be required to bring your Medicare and/or insurance cards and complete a consent form. Registrants will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis for those 50 and above, or people living with or caring for those over 60 and above. This will be on first come, first serve basis but we are making this available to members, family members with whom they live, and caregivers first. 

You will need to sign a Giant Vaccine Consent Form (made available online or onsite when you get arrive) and provide your Medicare and/or insurance card.  Note that if you are a member of Kaiser Permanente, you must get your vaccines through Kaiser so you are ineligible for this clinic due to their policies.

Please feel free to share this with those who might be interested in this opportunity.

Shingrix: Recommended for anyone age 50 and older to protect against Shingles. 99% of people over 50 years of age are living with the virus that causes shingles. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. Shingrix is a two dose vaccine given 2 to 6 months apart that is up to 90% effective at preventing Shingles.

This vaccine IS covered by most commercial plans and DC Medicaid but IS NOT covered by Medicare B but may be covered with a copay under Medicare Part D.

Please call Erin Meerzaman at 571-218-2886 to inquire if you will have a copayment.

We will schedule a second clinic for the follow-up dose.
