Get the new COVID-19 booster at the Bonanza Branch Library!
Protect yourself against the latest COVID-19 variants and prepare for flu season at free vaccine clinics at the Bonanza Branch Library!
The Oregon Health Authority will be administering vaccines on Thursday, December 8th from 1 pm to 5 pm at the Bonanza library, 31703 Hwy 70, against both this year’s seasonal flu and the latest variants of COVID-19, while supplies last. They will also be distributing free food boxes with a variety of pantry staples to anyone who stops by, whether they stay to get a vaccine or not. (Also while supplies last.)
Some important facts to know:
- You don’t need to present any medical insurance to receive a vaccine, and it’s totally free.
- It is both safe and recommended to get your COVID-19 booster and the annual flu shot together, but it’s not required.
- The new bivalent vaccines for the latest COVID-19 variants will be available for people (Ages 12 and up for Pfizer, ages 18 and up for Moderna) who have already received at least two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines (or the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine), and it’s been at least 2 months since the last time you’ve gotten a vaccine, including any additional boosters.
- If your family isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19 yet, folks ages 12 and up can get started on the original COVID vaccine series, but you won’t be able to get the bivalent booster at the same time.
