BELLEFONTE A free COVID-19 testing site will soon open in Bellefonte.
According to a news release from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, beginning Tuesday and continuing through Saturday, May 29, a clinic will be held at the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority Interpretive Center, located at 253 Transfer Road in Bellefonte.
The announcement came from the DOH on Saturday.
The clinic had been at the Patton Township Municipal Building from March 30 through this past Saturday.
“The continuation of the free, no appointment needed COVID-19 testing site allows those who haven’t signed up for a vaccination yet to get a test,” said Michael Pipe, chair of the Centre County Board of Commissioners. “Talk to your doctor today about getting a COVID-19 vaccine. They’d be happy to answer your questions.”
With all Pennsylvania residents age 16 and older eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, Centre Volunteers in Medicine and Mount Nittany Health are both encouraging community members to sign up for vaccination appointments at their clinics.
Vaccines are administered at no cost and individuals do not need to be current patients of CVIM or Mount Nittany to schedule appointments. Anyone 16 or older can register.
CVIM will offer the Pfizer vaccine at a clinic scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at Mount Nittany Middle School. Another clinic is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at Mount Nittany Middle School.
