Local immunization clinics offered

If you are uninsured or underinsured, and you, your child or another family member needs immunized, I wanted you to know that the state Department of Health will be offering free and low-cost immunizations (maximum cost is $5) at a series of public clinics to be held in the area in January and February.  

Each clinic will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The dates and locations are as follows:

Jan. 12 – Young Peoples Community Center, 300 Prave St., Ebensburg

Jan. 16 – Galleria Mall, 500 Galleria Drive, Johnstown

Jan. 26 – Miners Medical Center, 290 Haida Ave., Hastings

Feb. 9 – Young Peoples Community Center, 300 Prave St., Ebensburg

Feb. 20– Galleria Mall, 500 Galleria Drive, Johnstown

Feb. 23– Miners Medical Center, 290 Haida Ave., Hastings

Vaccines will be distributed to adults and children who are uninsured (no health insurance) and underinsured (insurance does not cover the vaccine) and meet the eligibility guidelines.

To schedule an appointment, call 814-248-3120.
