KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Klamath Health Partnership and Klamath Union High School will host a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine event targeting 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds on Saturday, May 8. The event will take place at the Klamath Union Courtyard from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and will include free food, drinks, music, and prizes.

While Klamath Union students are encouraged to attend, anyone within the community may come if they meet the eligibility guidelines. Attendees must have identification showing date of birth such as a driver’s license, school ID, or birth certificate.

Klamath Health Partnership is proud to be working with Klamath Union High School to hold the first Pfizer event within the Klamath School Districts. The goal is to reach younger age groups before they are out of school for the summer. All are welcome, even if they still have questions about being vaccinated. A provider will be on-site to answer any questions.

Attendees should expect a check-in and screening process before moving to a vaccination station to receive their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Attendees will be observed for 15 to 30 minutes following their vaccination.  After the observation period, attendees are invited to stay for free food and drinks and chances to win prizes from local vendors.
