[NationalHarbor] Reminder: NFB Vaccination Clinic - Sign Up by March 31, 2021 - Slots Going Fast!

[president at nfbmd.org]

Fellow Federationists,

This is a reminder that the National Federation of the Blind, National
Federation of the Blind of Maryland, and NFB Greater Baltimore Chapter, in
partnership with the Maryland Department of Health, will host a COVID-19
vaccination clinic on Monday, April 5, 2021.  The clinic will take place at
the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute.  This clinic has
been organized due to the inaccessibility of some online vaccination
scheduling platforms.  

 

Those who are over 18 and interested in receiving a vaccine must schedule an
appointment in advance.  They should contact Tammy Helm (thelm at nfb.org
<mailto:thelm at nfb.org>  or 410-659-9314, Extension 2291) on or before March
31, 2021 to request a vaccination slot.  Their appointment is not scheduled
until they receive confirmation.  Vaccination slots will be scheduled on a
first come first serve basis.  Appointment slots will be for a thirty minute
window sometime between 10 AM and 3 PM.  No walk-ins will be accommodated.
Priority will be given to members and staff of the National Federation of
the Blind.  Where slots remain available, those in current eligibility
categories will be scheduled to receive the vaccine.

 

Individuals should plan to bring copies of their health insurance cards if
they have coverage.  No one will be refused a vaccine due to not having
health insurance.  Individuals will also have to review and sign a consent
form.  We will share an electronic version of the consent form with those
whose vaccination appointments are scheduled and confirmed.  Individuals are
encouraged to review and sign the consent forms and bring a hard copy with
them to the vaccine appointment.  If individuals are unable to review and
sign the consent form, volunteers will be available to assist on site.

 

Any requests for reasonable accommodations, other than assistance completing
vaccination consent forms, should be requested by March 31, 2021.  Such
requests should be sent to Tammy Helm (thelm at nfb.org <mailto:thelm at nfb.org>
or 410-659-9314, Extension 2291).

 

For questions or more information, please contact me at President at nfbmd.org
<mailto:President at nfbmd.org>  or 443-426-4110.  

 

Ronza Othman, President

National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
