Albany vaccine ‘party’ hopes to incentivize more to get the jab

From the Albany Democrat-Herald:

The local chapter of the NAACP, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is partnering with Linn County Public Health, Samaritan Health and the Community Services Consortium to provide what’s being called a “vaccine party” on Saturday afternoon. Organizers tout the effort as a way to make vaccination seem less daunting and more fun.

To determine if you’re eligible for a booster, check the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html. Nonbooster first and second doses will also be administered at the clinic.

The event is free and open to the public, with no prior appointment needed.
