Rural residents of Linn County and other folks who may not be able to make it to the mass COVID-19 vaccination clinics in Albany are still getting shots thanks to the mobile vaccination van thatâs been rolling for weeks.
The van, a Mercedes Sprinter bought this year for $100,000 with federal CARES Act funds, has been driving to various locations around Linn County since March 5. The Linn County Board of Commissioners last week approved $35,000 to resupply it with medical equipment.
The van was parked at Albany Helping Hands on Wednesday, doling out Johnson & Johnson vaccines to unhoused individuals.
