Host a pop-up vaccine clinic
Tuesday, June 22, 2021 by Tai Moses
Austin Public Health’s mobile vaccination program is inviting businesses and organizations to host pop-up Covid-19 vaccination clinics in an effort to provide residents with convenient locations to get vaccinated. As APH interim Director Adrienne Sturrup explained in a news release, “We have seen success in reaching populations through place-based clinics that are linguistically and culturally appropriate. These efforts include providing clinics at churches, schools, construction sites, businesses, libraries, recreation centers, apartment complexes, flea markets, naturalization ceremonies, and homes.” Groups that would like to host a pop-up clinic may complete this online form. The mobile clinic will also make home visits to give Covid vaccinations to homebound Austinites, their families and caregivers. Schedule a home visit by calling 311 or (512) 974-2000 and leaving a message with your contact info.
