COVID-19
vaccinations to
medical group
PUTNAM — Beginning Monday, June 21 Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH) will transition COVID-19 vaccinations from its existing clinics at Day Kimball Hospital to its Day Kimball Medical Group (DKMG) adult and pediatric primary care practice locations.
“DKH has innovatively adapted care and services to meet the needs of our community throughout the pandemic,” said Kyle Kramer, chief executive officer, Day Kimball Healthcare. "Now that we have administered well over 40,000 vaccines to those who were eager to receive it, we are shifting our approach to better support those who may require direct conversation with a physician regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, and enable delivery of the vaccine at the point of contact. This change also makes the vaccine available at more locations in our community and allows individuals to receive the shot from their primary care providers in a private and comfortable setting.” DKMG adult primary care practices will administer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. DKMG pediatric primary care practices will administer the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to individuals ages 12 and older. COVID-19 vaccinations at DKMG’s primary care practices will be available to new and established patients. An appointment is preferred, but walk-in appointments accommodated. The practices welcome new patients.
