Calendar of Events

No appointments are required to enter the site. All three vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson) will be available for those seeking their first or second dose.

Pfizer-BioNTech booster shots will also be available for individuals who meet the eligibility criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC’s recommendations apply only to individuals who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months ago.

According to the CDC, the following individuals should get a booster shot:

• people 65 years of age and older
• residents of long-term care settings
• people 50–64 years of age with certain underlying medical conditions

The following individuals may consider getting a booster shot after discussing the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider:

• people 18–49 years of age with certain underlying medical conditions
• people 18–64 years of age who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of their occupational or institutional setting

Currently, booster doses are not recommended for those who received Moderna or J&J vaccines but may be recommended in the future after the CDC conducts a thorough review of safety and efficacy data.

• A 20 minute workout at each of our 4 clinic locations in Asheville, Candler, and Hendersonville

Celebrate movement with Movement for Life Physical Therapy! The physical therapy practice will be offering free 20 minute workouts at each of their four locations in Candler, North Asheville, South Asheville and Hendersonville throughout the day, as well as giveaways and raffle prizes from local community partners.

Movement for Life Physical Therapy regularly treats patients with Parkinson’s Disease through their Knock Out Parkinson’s program, which they recently expanded to offer at all WNC clinic locations. Knock Out Parkinson’s is a non-contact boxing program, utilizing a combination of cardiovascular exercise, weight training, balance skills and boxing.

While there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease, evidence has shown people who participate in high intensity exercise programs make positive gains in all stages of the disease, as well as protect important areas of their brain. The mission of Knock Out Parkinson’s is to give people the power and motivation to battle Parkinson’s Disease. The program works to improve the mental and physical capabilities of those with Parkinson’s Disease through movement and enhance their quality of life.

The Knock Out Parkinson’s Challenge on October 23^rd will offer a taste of what the program is all about. The event is open to folks of all abilities, whether or not you have been affected by Parkinson’s Disease.

Movement for Life Physical Therapy takes the health and safety of its community very seriously. Masks are required at all clinic locations.

No Appointment Necessary – Pfizer, Moderna and J&J Vaccines Available

Mobile clinic located behind Sportsman’s Warehouse.

FEMA’s mobile vaccine center will be based at the Asheville Outlets at 800 Brevard Road. The stationary vaccine center can administer up to 250 vaccines each day. First and second doses, as well as booster vaccines will be provided. As the more contagious Delta variant drives increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, more help is on the way for Western North Carolina. FEMA is sending a mobile community vaccine center to Buncombe County this week in partnership with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Local Health Departments, and the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC). Residents do not need an appointment in advance, and all three approved vaccines will be available. All three have all proven safe and effective against COVID-19 illness and its complications. More than 335 million doses of Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson vaccines have been administered across the U.S. since December 2020.

Update: Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Booster Vaccines Now Available

To strengthen and extend protections against severe illness, North Carolinians who have been fully vaccinated with the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines may now be eligible to receive a booster dose.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have authorized and recommended “booster” vaccine shots to provide continued protection.

Moderna: If you were vaccinated more than 6 months ago with the Moderna COVID-19 shot, boosters are now available for people: 

• 65 years or older,
• 18 years or older who:
  • live or work in a nursing home or long-term care facility, have underlying medical conditions; or,
  • who work in high-risk settings like healthcare workers, teachers and childcare providers or food workers.
  • live or work in a place where many people live together (for example, homeless shelters, correctional facilities, migrant farm housing, dormitories or other group living settings in colleges or universities).

The Moderna booster is a smaller dose than what is given in the first two shots. Be sure to let your provider know you want the booster.

Johnson & Johnson: It is recommended that anyone 18 or older who was vaccinated more than 2 months ago with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should get a booster dose.

Pfizer: Pfizer-BioNTech (COMIRNATY) booster shots continue to be available to anyone at high risk for serious illness or exposure, and who received their second dose at least six months ago.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has now authorized the distribution of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson boosters in addition to Pfizer COVID-19 boosters. Not all vaccines may be available at every vaccine location.

To find a COVID-19 booster visit MySpot.nc.gov to search vaccine locations near you. The BCHHS COVID Vaccination Clinic at 40 Coxe Avenue is open Monday – Friday, 9 am – 4 pm.

Additionally, individuals are now able to receive any brand of COVID-19 vaccine for their booster shot. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received and others may prefer to get a different booster. Limited preliminary evidence suggests that booster doses of one of the two mRNA vaccines—Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech—more effectively raise antibody levels than a booster dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. NCDHHS encourages you to speak with a doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you have questions about what booster is right for you.

Have questions about whether your personal medical conditions or job might make you eligible? Talk to a doctor, pharmacist or nurse about whether you should get a booster.
