The Stark County Health Department will once again partner with the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority to host four mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinics this month.

Residents ages 12 and older will be able to receive first, second or booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Those who received the Johnson & Johnson or Moderna vaccines for their original vaccination series are able to get the Pfizer-BioNTech booster.

The clinics will take place over two days and make four stops:

  • Tuesday from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Magnolia Village Canal Park, Basin St., Magnolia.

  • Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Christ Memorial Church, 2620 Robertsville Ave., Paris Township.

  • Nov. 16 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Wilderness Center, 9877 Alabama Ave. SW, in Sugar Creek Township.

  • Nov. 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Perry Grange Hall, 6300 Richville Drive SW, Perry Township.

The health agency is continuing to offer $100 gift cards for residents who receive their first dose.

The mobile clinics will not include the recently authorized pediatric COVID-19 vaccine. Residents who wish to schedule appointments for their 5- to 11-year-old children to receive the pediatric Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine can go online at ArmorVax.com or call 330-451-1681 to attend the department's pediatric clinics on Saturdays and Tuesdays.
