Tonya Meyer, Bluffton Senior Citizens Center director, notified the Icon about covid-19 vaccines.

Here is her message:
CVS just informed us that they now have the COVID-19 vaccine. 

Pharmacies are now getting the vaccine. The CVS in Bluffton now has the Pfizer vaccine.

Today only, if you are over 75, you can walk in and get vaccinated. After today, you need an appointment which you can make at CVS.com or call 1-800-shop-CVS (746-7287).

Online is better because you can fill out all the paperwork and spend less time in the pharmacy.
