The Orlando Chapter of The Links, Inc, will run The Communiversity Vaccination Strong event from 9 am until 3 pm this Saturday at The Jacqueline Bradley & Clarence Otis Family Branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings says The Links are one of the country’s oldest African American women’s charities.
“Starting Saturday morning June 19, there will be free COVID-19 vaccinations at the Jaqueline Bradley and Clarence Otis Boys and Girls Club off of Lakeland Avenue. Again, this area is near Camping World Stadium.”
Residents can stop by to get their COVID-19 shots and participate in a Juneteenth celebration featuring prizes for people who get vaccinated. “They will feature free food, gift cards, and other giveaways while supplies last. It is also part of a celebration of the Juneteenth holiday,” said Demings.
Vaccines will also be available that day at Barker Park in the City of Orlando from 10 until 2 at the “I Got My Shot” trailer.
Juneteenth is the country’s newest federal holiday. It celebrates the federal message that reached Texas in 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed to end slavery in America in 1863.
In honor of Juneteenth, the City of Lubbock Public Health Department Vaccine Bus will hold a vaccination clinic outside the Windmill Museum at 1701 Canyon Lake Drive, Saturday, June 19, from 12 p.m.- 4 p.m.
The Health Department will offer first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccinations at this event. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available to all individuals ages 18+. Walk-ins are welcome. Look for the big blue bus. For more information, call the Public Health Department at 806-775-2933.
