Need a COVID-19 shot? Summit County agency offers drive-thru, walk-in and pop-up clinics
Need a COVID-19 shot or booster?
Summit County Public Health will offer drive-thru clinics for
once a month, in addition to its walk-in clinic and pop-up vaccination clinics throughout the community.
COVID-19 vaccinations: Pop-up clinics coming to locations throughout Summit
The drive-thru clinics, which will be held at the agency's West Akron headquarters, are a response to increased requests for the convenience of a drive-thru vaccination clinic, spokeswoman Marlene Martin said.
The Tuesday drive-thru clinics will take place 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 24, June 21 and July 19 at 1867 W. Market St. in West Akron.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccine will be offered, in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. No appointments are necessary.
If a line develops, the agency asks that vehicles not stop on the railroad tracks.
Masks are required at all agency vaccination clinics.
Watch the website, www.scph.org/covid or the agency's Facebook page for cancellations due to severe weather.
