Protect yourself against the latest COVID-19 variants at free vaccine clinics at the downtown Klamath Falls and South Suburban libraries!
(Unfortunately, due to supply issues, the seasonal flu vaccine will not be available at these events as previously scheduled.)
The Oregon Health Authority will be administering vaccines at the downtown library, 126 S. Third St., on Monday, October 10th from 1 pm to 5 pm; and at the South Suburban Branch Library, 3625 Summers Lane, on Wednesday, October 12th from 1 pm to 5 pm.
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. (While supplies last, of course.)
Some important facts to know:
- You don’t need to present any medical insurance to receive a vaccine, and it’s totally free.
- 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 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 just yet.
