In Fairbanks, you can now get a Covid-19 vaccine while going to the movies, walking by the J.P. Jones Center and maybe while attending a hockey game.
Upcoming pop-up vaccination clinics are part of the Sleeves Up for Summer campaign, launched by the state and local governments to increase Alaskaâs Covid-19 vaccinations. To protect Alaskans from the virus and keep the state up and running before summer rolls in, the goal is to cover 25% more people in May â which means vaccinating 18,000 additional residents in the Interior.Â
âWe are looking at new different ways to get information and vaccinations out to people,â said Dr. Mark Simon, an emergency physician at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital.
