Upcoming COVID-19 Testing Events at SLV
Abbeville Area Medical Center will be onsite at the Monticello Golf Club once again in February to conduct free COVID-19 testing clinics. Anyone wishing to be tested may come and receive the test.
Watch for future emails closer to those dates with the details and the testing forms required.
You may also find other avenues for receiving a free COVID-19 test by visiting this resource on the SCDHEC website:
https://scdhec.gov/covid19/covid-19-testing-locations
Abbeville Area Medical Center
Abbeville Area Medical Center has a primary care office at 131 Holiday Road here in SLV called Savannah Lakes Family Medicine. They area accepting requests for COVID vaccine appointments via email. Their ability to schedule is dependent upon the allocation they receive from the State.
To request your COVID-19 vaccine through Savannah Lakes Family Medicine, you may send an email to slfmvax@abbevilleareamc.com.
AAMC’s Guidance for Vaccination of Those Who Have Previously Tested Positive for COVID-19
“Patients with a COVID positive test result should wait 60 days before receiving their initial vaccination. As you might remember we discussed there is a 90 day window where people have the antibodies after having a positive COVID test. Our medical staff feels comfortable stating, wait 60 days before attempting to schedule a vaccine. This allows 30 days to get an appointment and for protection of the patient to have an appointment secured before their 90 day window concludes.”
AAMC referenced a CDC-authored prevaccination checklist to help guide whether a person should receive the vaccine or not. This is not required to bring to a vaccination appointment, but it may be helpful in making a decision about whether to receive the vaccine.

Self Regional Healthcare
Self Regional Healthcare has a primary care office at 207 Holiday Road here in SLV called Family Healthcare • Savannah Lakes. They area accepting requests for COVID vaccine appointments via a form on their website. Their ability to schedule is dependent upon the allocation they receive from the State.
To request your COVID-19 vaccine through Self Regional Healthcare, complete the form at this address:
https://www.selfregional.org/covid-vaccine-request-form/
A Message from Self Regional Healthcare about Vaccination:
“There has been some confusion about how individuals in Savannah Lakes should access COVID-19 vaccinations at Self Regional Healthcare, and we’ve noticed this in recent comments on NeighborLink. We’d like to clear this up: If you received your first SRH COVID -19 vaccination prior to 1/19/2021 you may simply walk in for your 2nd vaccination on or after the date indicated for 2nd vaccination on your vaccination card. If your 1st vaccination was after 1/19/2021, your SRH scheduler has made you an appointment to receive your 2nd vaccination, and communicated that appointment date to you. For all others seeking vaccination, the best way to access that is by filling out the form at: https://www.selfregional.org/covid-vaccine-request-form/. Calling Self Medical Center Savannah Lakes is NOT the most efficient way to be scheduled for vaccination. Thank you for your cooperation.”
This concludes our COVID-19 Community Update for Friday, January 29, 2021. Thank you for doing your part to help fight COVID-19 and keep our community safe. Please refer any questions about testing and vaccination to your primary care physician or the healthcare partners mentioned above.
Yours in service,

COVID-19 Community Update – 12/15/2020
/in COVID-19 /by Savannah Lakes VillageDear SLV owners,
We are continuing to carefully watch and adjust to COVID-19 cases in around our two-state region as well as locally. The following includes several important updates, so please read carefully.
We hosted another COVID-19 testing site at the Monticello parking lot today (12/15/2020) through SC DHEC and Abbeville Area Medical Center. Based on unofficial counts, 480 people were tested earlier today. This was a record number of tests administered. We thank everyone who came out to be tested, which will help SLV, SCDHEC and others to make decisions as we continue to navigate daily through the COVID-19 period. We will report on the results of this latest testing site as soon as results are made available from the lab.
Unfortunately, as we have seen an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in McCormick County, we have also had a few active cases in our SLV Village Office. Through contact tracing and following all safety measures, we have no reason to believe that exposure was extended to SLV owners or other visitors through the Village Office. We continue to disinfect our office (and all facilities) and follow all safety protocols. Through remote working by those who must quarantine and reshuffling of those who are not in quarantine, we have been able to minimize impacts to our services, while also caring for our team members who have been affected by the virus and quarantine requirements. Although our office is open (masks required), we encourage you to call the office at (864) 391-4116 for all business that could be conducted remotely. We also appreciate the thoughts and prayers for those affected. All DHEC protocols continue to be in place and we are confident that normal operations will resume by early next week.
Additionally, all previously reported adjustments and safety protocols that have been made to SLV services remain in effect. The clubs are offering patio counter service and curbside pickup, but remain closed to indoor dining. Please continue to wear masks as per the McCormick County ordinance and as we respectfully ask and remind through signage at the entrance to all SLV facilities. As we work to close out 2020, we look forward to a post-COVID-19 environment in the months ahead — getting back to all the social programs and events that help to make SLV such a great place to live. In the meantime, let’s all renew our resolve to help keep each other safe and well.
Yours in Service,
Kirk Smith
