North Central Public Health District says as of now, it is planning to hold COVID-19 vaccine clinics scheduled for Thursday and Saturday at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center even though snow is in the forecast.  The District says it is coordinating with the City of The Dalles and Columbia Gorge Community College, and the college will clear the parking lots at the readiness center and the entrance to the college off Scenic Drive for the Thursday and Saturday events.   In addition, the City will increase the frequency at which crews will drive along Scenic to keep the roads clear for the clinics.  The three main roads that will be prioritized for snow removal leading to Scenic Drive are Trevitt Street, Dry Hollow Road and Kelly Avenue.  The District says if clinics are cancelled due to inclement weather, they will publicize the decision through the NCPHD Facebook page and ncphd.org, along with the agency’s e-mail list, and through local media.  If some clients do not feel comfortable attending a clinic due to the weather, they may call the District on the day of the clinic only at 541-288-3374 to cancel.  The phone is not monitored except during clinic hours.
