Little Rock, Ark. – The Arkansas Department of Health’s Office of Health Equity is partnering with cities to host community vaccination clinics for booster shots. Clinics will be open to eligible people needing Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster shots and to those who have not yet been fully vaccinated.
The community clinics are being held to ensure minority populations have equitable access to vaccines and monoclonal antibodies in convenient locations. Participants will receive lunch and an entry to win a $500 raffle. Flu vaccinations will also be available. When clinic hours end, some locations will be converted to infusion centers for at-risk individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 and have mild or moderate symptoms no longer than 10 days prior to the clinic.
