Drilling Pharmacy Plans to Offer Free Covid 19 Vaccine

Drilling Pharmacy plans to offer free Covid 19 vaccine at The Soup Kitchen. They will provide Johnson and Johnson vaccines. People 18 and above can get a free vaccine on May 6 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. All you will need is your ID and insurance card, but insurance is not required for the vaccine.

Christina Plautz, a Drilling Pharmacy Technician stressed the importance of getting your Covid 19 vaccine if you are hesitant. Plautz added that last year has been crazy and everybody is ready to get back to normal. The only way they are going to get back to normal by getting vaccines in their arms. The more people vaccinated, the better off they are going to be. It will keep people healthy. If you are over the age of 65, make sure you bring your red, white, and blue Medicare card to The Soup Kitchen.

Plautz also added that we’re kind of coming to the point in the vaccinations that we’re reaching the population that’s hesitant or just not reachable for the vaccinations. So they want to try and get as many people vaccinated as possible. After your vaccination, plan to stay on-site for at least 15 minutes after your shot to get monitored for any side effects.

Drilling pharmacy wanted to do this clinic to make the vaccine more accessible to the community. Officials say they had a steady stream throughout the mealtime at The Soup Kitchen. Iowa health officials reported that 15,341 more people have completed their vaccine series, for a total of 1,127,558 people fully vaccinated against COVID-19
