Does CFFM have COVID-19 vaccines available? 

No, we do not have COVID-19 vaccines in our office. We will likely have more details mid to late March. Keep checking our web-site as it will be the first to be updated, and will have more updated information than you will get calling our office. We will update you clearly by email when we know have more information. Consider signing up for our email consent.
