The Genesis vaccination site in the former Dick’s Sporting Goods location on Elmore Ave. has closed.

The Lombard Street location has multiple rooms on the first floor for COVID vaccinations. There also is an outdoor awning to protect the drive-through testing lanes from the winter elements.

“Combining vaccinations and testing at this site will help consolidate staff resources and will add convenience for patients,’’ said Beau Dexter, primary care director, Genesis Health Group.

Vaccinations are currently available, as is drive-through COVID-19 testing.  COVID testing requires a provider order.

Genesis Health Group primary care providers in Iowa and Illinois will also continue to give COVID-19 vaccinations and third doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at their clinics.

Groups eligible for third doses of the Pfizer vaccine include:

    • Individuals Ages 65 and older;
    • Ages 18-64 at high risk of severe COVID-19; and
    • Ages 18-64 whose frequent institutional or occupational exposure puts them at high risk of serious complications from COVID-19. This includes health care workers, teachers and school staffs, day care staff, grocery workers and those in homeless shelters or prisons.
    • Individuals who had their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months prior to third dose.

Individuals who received Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in their primary series of vaccinations can only be given the Pfizer vaccine for their third dose.
