The clinic is open until 7 p.m. today.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments can also be scheduled at gettheshot.coronavirus.ohio.gov. The vaccine is being offered for free.
Tara Marlow, chief executive officer for the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton, encouraged parents to bring their children and get the whole family vaccinated.
“Parents should not hesitate to bring their children,” she said. “The vaccine is safe. We have plenty of information to let you know that it is safe and sound for you and your child.”
With COVID among the leading causes of death for African Americans, it’s especially for important for African American community to get vaccinated, Marlow added.
The clinic is easy to access and is located next to an RTA bus stop.
With Ohio lifting most of its virus-related health orders, now is a great time for unvaccinated people, particularly children, to get the shot.
“As the mask mandate and restrictions lift in Ohio, it’s important to get this age group vaccinated to prevent the spread of the virus and protect our community,” Tina Schmitt, manager of employee health/wellness at Dayton Children’s Hospital, said.
The Pfizer is a two-shot vaccine. Another clinic is scheduled for June 25 to administer the second dose.
