Looking for a Covid vaccine booster? Here’s a list of upcoming public clinics

Looking for the new bivalent booster shot for Covid protection? Lincoln County Public Health and a variety of other organizations – including local pharmacies – are offering more opportunities to get one beginning this week.

Here’s a list of public clinics:

  • The Oregon Health Authority is sponsoring a high-volume clinic from 1-6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 27-28 at the Florence Event Center. All pediatric, bivalent booster and Novavax will be available. It is a walk-up clinic and no appointment is necessary.

In addition to the flu vaccine, most Covid-19 vaccines will be available, including additional boosters and doses for children. No identification or insurance is required to receive a vaccine.
