  During February, Senior Village and Desert Life Pharmacy are administering second shots of the Moderna vaccine. Four weeks after your first shot, a volunteer will phone you a few days before your second shot to confirm your Saturday time and place. Fill out the Vaccine Consent Form again and bring it with you along with your Medicare card or, better yet, a copy of your Medicare card and the CDC cardyou received when you got your first shot. Please wait for your confirmation phone call for scheduling. If you have already received your shot at another site, call us at 365-4337 and let us know. This helps us know more definitely whom to schedule for an appointment. The consent form (EUA) is available on the website sbvaccinate.org For those in the 65-74 age group, we will begin to inoculate large numbers of you in early March. Spouses/partners will be scheduled together. There are several thousand people in this age range, so don’t expect to be at the top. No need to call us to ask if you are on the list; we will call you. | ||

SaddleBrooke’s Discussion Group for Better Hearing
WHO WE ARE: SaddleBrooke residents who recognize the need in our community for a caring place of support and education for those currently experiencing hearing loss or those beginning to research this topic for themselves or a loved one. Over the past year, the group has provided Saddlebrooke’s first Hearing Night Out, featuring Dr. Faredh Barakat from the University of Arizona Audiology Clinic. Discussions have been held on many subjects including how to have a hearing issue diagnosed, how to consider the purchase of hearing aids, and the emotional aspects of hearing loss for individuals and their families. WHAT WE DO: We meet monthly for information sharing and education. Starting in fall 2020, due to the Pandemic, these meetings will be held on Zoom. In addition to our monthly topic, there is always open time for one-on-one conversation and information sharing. We submit articles for SaddleBrooke newspapers covering hearing loss topics, personal testimonials, and announcing upcoming events. And finally, we advocate for better technical support in SaddleBrooke facilities for those living with hearing loss. WHAT WE ARE NOT: Our group is NOT a referral center for audiologists or other medical care. This group is not a club, there are no dues. Everyone is welcome. WHEN/WHERE DO WE MEET?: We meet the second Thursday monthly, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM. Currently, we are meeting on Zoom. In the future, we hope to meet at a meeting room in Mountain View once again. Time and room may vary due to room availability, so check the newspapers or attend a session and give us your email address for updates. QUESTIONS: Please contact Jennifer Jefferis, at jenjefferis4u@gmail.com, (360) 909-6212 or Maria Menconi, at marialmenconi@gmail.com. | ||
