COVID-19 vaccination clinics for FQHC patients and community members continue at Grand Avenue Health Center and Midlakes Health Center. The Belvidere Medical Building and Zion Health Center vaccination clinics were closed as of April 20, 2022, due to a significant decrease in vaccination demand. At each visit, providers and their care teams continue to encourage patients, their eligible family members and friends to get vaccinated.
