Alleghany Health is committed to continuing to support the emergent healthcare needs of our community, while supporting mass vaccination clinics organized by AppHealth. Our combined resources and staff efforts will make a huge difference in the amount of individuals who can be vaccinated in a shorter time frame. We are excited to be able to partner with AppHealthcare to help slow the spread, with immunizations for those individuals who meet the criteria and guidelines for vaccination at this time.
