CENTRAL POINT, Ore An event that took weeks of preparation from numerous organizations, is now in full swing. It’s a joint effort between FEMA, the Oregon Health Authority, the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, Jackson County Emergency Management, and others.
“I know when we did our drive-thru back in January and February, we knew our community could put on such an event and make sure that the vaccine was available, so getting the support to do that again is really exciting,” said Tanya Phillips with Jackson County Public Health.
The walk-up site has been here for the past month but the drive-thru aspect just kicked off Wednesday. It’s open every day but Monday for the next 2 months. An army of staff and volunteers is putting it all together, greeting, screening, vaccinating, and observing, to get people vaccinated.
