Vaccine - As of this week, Hudson Physicians has administered more than 15,000 doses of the COVID Vaccine. In the past week, we have seen more patients wanting to get the Vaccine, and we have a good supply of Vaccine available. If you are visiting the clinic for another appointment, we can give you a vaccine at your appointment or give us a call to schedule a vaccine appointment Monday – Friday.

Additionally, the guidance for receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine during pregnancy has strengthened based on new analysis and studies, and it is recommended that pregnant people be vaccinated. Hudson Physicians is administering the Pfizer vaccine for all people 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant now or might become pregnant in the future.

Booster Vaccine – Hudson Physicians is also currently administering a 3rd COVID-19 vaccine booster for patients who are immunocompromised. The booster vaccine needs to be ordered by your provider. If you feel you qualify for this booster, please discuss it with your provider at your next visit. Send a message through our portal or nurse message center to get it ordered if you have been in recently.

To qualify for the 3rd booster shot, you must have received the initial two doses at least 4 weeks ago and have one of the following conditions:

• Receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
• Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
• Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years
• Have advanced or untreated HIV infection
• Have moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (DiGeorge syndrome or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
• Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids suppressing immune system

If you would like a vaccine, call us at 715-531-6800.

Testing – Hudson Physicians has rapid molecular PCR COVID-19 testing available. Molecular PCR testing is the gold standard for accuracy and in the early days of the pandemic often took days to get results, now we have an in-house machine that processes the tests in 45 minutes, and we can get results back the same day. Hudson Physicians Urgent Care provides the COVID-19 testing and is open 7:30am-9pm Monday – Friday, 8am to 9pm Saturday, and 9am to 9pm Sunday.
