We are excited to be partnering with the County Department of Health and Wegmans to offer a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine clinic this Sunday, May 23rd from 10am to 2 pm at All Saints Parish! As a Roman Catholic Parish, we are pleased to join in the mission of getting the greatest number of folks in our wider Community vaccinated – emphasizing how strongly The Church blesses the vaccines and strongly encourages All to be vaccinated! In a January interview for Italy's TG5 news program, Pope Francis said "I believe that morally everyone must take the vaccine. It is the moral choice because it is about your life but also the lives of others." Wegmans pharmacy operations manager, Brian Pompo shared “We are proud to have the opportunity to serve the community in this way and to provide another option for our customers to get vaccinated.” Wegmans will continue offering vaccine appointments at its pharmacies throughout the Syracuse region and plans to offer additional clinics. Individuals ages 18 and up are eligible to participate in the All Saints Clinic on Sunday the 23rd. At the time of your first dose, the pharmacy team will schedule your second dose appointment. Appointments for the All Saints Clinic are available for scheduling at Wegmans.com/pharmacy, There are a few steps when scheduling online, but they move right along: • Click the link: Wegmans.com/pharmacy • Select “Schedule Vaccine”, then select “NY”, then select “Schedule” • Answer “Yes” to “Do you live, work or study in the state of New York?” and answer “Yes” to “Are you making an appointment for someone age 12+?” then click “OK” • Select “Schedule a new appointment” and hit “Submit” • Select May 23, 2021 as the date, type in your zip code, select "Search" and then hit schedule for “All Saint” • Agree to the terms and conditions then enter you name, date of birth, phone number and submit and you will receive a time for your appointment.
