The City of Statesboro & Squashing the Spread Bulloch administered free COVID-19 vaccines at pop-up events Saturday morning, June 12th at both Walmart locations and Food Lion. They were not able to offer the clinic at Food World due to a scheduling conflict.
The vaccines were administered by Walmart pharmacist at the Walmart locations and by CORE a non-profit focused on vaccinations (no connection to Statesboro's CORE Credit Union).
In addition 11 volunteers staffed the pop-up vaccine clinics.
Volunteers reported a very good response from the community. Citizens were appreciative of this opportunity and the ease of the vaccination process.
Squashing the Spread will continue these pop-up clinics again next Saturday, June 19, 2021

- Food Lion - 325 Northside Drive East
- Food World (Spanish language assistance available) - 2949 Northside Drive West
- Walmart - 147 Northside Drive East
- Walmart Marketplace - 349 Brampton Avenue
