Walmart plans 3-day vaccination clinic in Centre County. Here’s how to schedule an appointment
As health systems and medical volunteers work to distribute available COVID-19 vaccines, large-scale efforts continue in Centre County.
Walmart has announced a coronavirus vaccination clinic at Calvary Harvest Fields Church, 150 Harvest Fields Drive in Boalsburg, from Thursday-Saturday, while supplies last. Eligible patients may schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-753-8827; vaccines will be administered to those who fall into Phase 1A of the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s vaccination rollout plan.
“We have two goals as we administer vaccines: first, to get as many shots in eligible arms as possible so we can start the process of reopening our country, and second, ensuring equitable vaccine access across the communities we serve,” Dr. Cheryl Pegus, Walmart executive vice president for health and wellness, said in a statement. “We will continue finding new ways to increase vaccination access for our customers as we work towards the eventual end of the pandemic.”
Phase 1A includes anyone 65 or older, as well as those 16-64 who are immunocompromised or have a high-risk medical condition.
Insurance is not needed to receive the no-cost vaccine, and patients will schedule a second appointment after receiving their first dose.
In partnership with the Health Department, Walmart is holding vaccine clinics at locations that prioritize access for those most vulnerable to contracting the coronavirus and have the capacity to accommodate operations, the company said.
