Peace Corps Volunteers Look To Spread Word Of Vaccine Clinic

Peace Corps volunteers are going door to door in The Dalles to spread the word about the mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinic at St. Mary’s Academy that is entering its final week.  The clinic is open daily through Wednesday, except for Monday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.  The volunteers work in teams of two, and they concentrate on apartment complexes, so they can reach the most people in the quickest time.   They have identified some 500 affordable housing units to visit.  Peace Corps team coordinator Max Sullivan says most of the volunteers are working at the vaccine clinic, while others will knock on doors and hand out flyers about the clinic.  They distribute flyers at businesses in the mornings, and start visiting apartments at around noon.  Vaccines are free, and no appointments, insurance or ID are needed at the drive-up or walk-in clinic.  Wasco County residents get a $50 VISA gift card for getting the vaccine.  Offered is the Pfizer vaccine, for those 12 and older, and the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.  Those who need a free ride to the clinic can call the LINK bus at 541-296-7595.
