You must also meet the following requirements to receive your vaccine at Valley View:

• You have not received another vaccine in the last 14 days.
• You must be able to return for your second dose, either 21 or 28 days later (depending on the vaccine available). If you are not available to return for your second dose, please wait for the next round of vaccine appointments.
• You have reviewed the information and indications for the vaccines currently available:
  •  COVID-19 Vaccine Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Fact Sheets for Recipients and Caregivers
  • Prevaccination Checklist for COVID-19 Vaccines 

You need to come to Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs and enter at the lower cancer center entrance.

We ask that you park your own car. If you require assistance, complimentary valet is available.

Please do not come to the hospital more than 15 minutes ahead of your appointment time or 15 minutes after your appointment time. This is to allow us to best serve you and make sure we have appropriate physical distancing as part of the vaccination process. If you arrive more than 15 minutes past your scheduled appointment, we may give your vaccine away.

The following points are key for your appointment:

• To enter the hospital, you must wear a mask and you will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms. Be prepared to practice social distancing throughout the entire process.
• Wear clothing that will easily allow you to get your shot.
• You will wait 15-30 minutes after you receive your vaccine in the post-vaccination observation area.

If you have received a COVID-19 vaccine at Valley View Hospital, you must return to hospital for a second dose, sometimes referred to as a booster shot.

You are automatically scheduled for your 2nd dose during your first dose appointment. Your appointment date and time is noted on your Vaccine Card. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate alternative scheduling.

All second doses are administered in the same location.

Thank you for prioritizing this second appointment as it maximizes the efficacy of your vaccine.

The second dose is administered at no charge.
