FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital will host a walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinic for those 12 and older from 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 5, in the Bass Room at 111 Franklin Health Commons.

The Pfizer vaccine being administered requires a second dose 21 days later on Aug. 26, also taking place at the hospital.

Hospital officials hope individuals who are unvaccinated will take advantage of this opportunity as schools prepare to reopen and COVID-19 cases continue to rise in all states due to the highly transmissible Delta variant.

Appointments also can be made online at vaccine.mainehealth.org.

Parental consent is required for anyone younger than 18. Parents wishing to complete the consent in advance can download and print it from mainehealth.org.

Everyone entering the clinic should use the hospital front entrance wearing a mask.

The vaccine are being provided at no cost.
