COVID-19 Vaccine for CCFFH & E-ARCH
The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be available beginning in January for both Medicaid members and caregivers in a community care foster family home (CCFFH) or an expanded adult residential care home (E-ARCH).
Other Medicaid members will have the COVID-19 vaccine available to them at a later date.
Please have the consent forms filled out and signed for each eligible person BEFORE your scheduled vaccine appointment.
