Dear Tandem Health Patients and the Sumter Community,

We know you likely have questions about the distribution and availability of COVID-19 vaccines and what it means for you. We will update the community on our plans as we continue providing vaccinations for Tandem Health patients and community members.

Tandem Health now offers two COVID-19 Vaccines.

Moderna Vaccine - approved for individuals age 18 and older 

Pfizer Vaccine - available for individuals ages 6 months old and older

Here are the steps to request a vaccine:

Vaccine Scheduling: 

1). Adult Patients: Tandem Health is scheduling COVID-19 vaccines by appointment to patients and community members Monday through Friday. Please call 803.774.4500 and follow the prompts. For Adult Medicine press 2 and then press 2 for the scheduling department.  

2). Adolescent Patients (6 months old and up): Tandem Health Pediatrics is now offering the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine for children ages 6 months old and up.
