Public Health is relocating the COVID-19 vaccination clinic scheduled from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Sept. 15, at the Dayton Convention Center to the Reibold Building at 117 S. Main St. Enter through the first floor lobby. Free parking will be available in the Reibold Building Garage.
“Vaccination is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones from severe illness, hospitalization or death from COVID-19,” said Montgomery County Health Commissioner Jeff Cooper. “The incentive is being offered to help motivate the unvaccinated to receive the vaccine as quickly as possible to reduce the recent surge of severe illness and hospitalization.”
As of Sept. 7, 50.49% of the Montgomery County population has received at least one dose, with 52.45% statewide having done so.
Public Health has 1,000 gift cards available through a grant provided by the Ohio Department of Health, with more scheduled to be made available in the coming weeks.
Public Health’s vaccination clinic sites are based on areas experiencing lower vaccination rates and other data to ensure access to vulnerable populations, the release said.
Those who are attending are asked to take an ID to allow Public Health staff to verify in its system which dose you are receiving.
Gift cards only will be available to those receiving their first dose at these locations and times:
Tuesdays, 2 - 6 p.m., Starting Sept. 14, Dayton Metro Library - Huber Heights, 6160 Chambersburg Rd.
