COVID-19 vaccines are being distributed at area parks for anyone 12 and older. A clinic was held at the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden Monday morning, and you can get a shot Friday, May 28, from 10 a.m. to noon at Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park. Wednesday, June 16, COVID-19 vaccines will be distributed at Jordan Valley Ice Park from noon to 3 with free public skating that day for anyone who gets a shot. And, on Saturday, July 17, a clinic will be held at the Dickerson Park Zoo Pavilion from 9 a.m. to noon with free zoo admission that day for those who get a shot.
The vaccine clinics are a partnership of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department and the Springfield-Greene County Park Board. According to the health department in a news release, they and the Park Board identified locations in areas with low rates of vaccination and where the most people could be reached.
Walk-ins are welcome, but you might be able to save time by registering at covidvaccinemo.gov/navigator.
Clinics are also being planned at the Park Board’s family centers.
