Several organizations are teaming up for a series of mobile vaccination clinics in the coming weeks.
Partners include The Black Action Collective, Growing & Coping Together, the Northwest Arkansas Chapter of the NAACP, the Historic St. James Baptist Church, and the Urban League Young Professionals of Northwest Arkansas, the Community Clinic, Fayetteville Diagnostic Clinic, the NWA Council, and the Fayetteville City Board of Health.
“The partnership and upcoming clinics, provides greater accessibility of the COVID-19 vaccines to unserved and underserved children and families in our community,” said Lance Reed, President and CEO of the Black Action Collective. “Together, we can overcome this once-in-a-generation health crisis, by providing equitable opportunities for our most vulnerable children and families in Fayetteville.”
Anyone 12 and older can receive the vaccine, though a parent or guardian will need to be present for those 12-17. Consent forms are available here.
All of the clinics are free, and open to the public. The clinics will offer the Pfizer vaccine, for either first or second doses to attendees. No appointments are necessary.
Appointments are not necessary, and all vaccines are free of charge.
