Vaccination clinics scheduled throughout Northeast Arkansas as eligibility expands

Another 1.2 million people in Arkansas are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines, and efforts are ramping in Northeast Arkansas.

Arkansas Methodist Medical Center, NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine at A-State, and other governmental entities are collaborating to provide a free COVID-19 vaccine clinic for the region that will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday (March 20) at the Paragould Community Center, located at 3404 Linwood Drive in Paragould.

Those who receive a vaccine on March 20 will be scheduled to return to Paragould Community Center on April 17th to receive their second dose of the series. After receiving the vaccination, you will be required to wait 15 minutes for monitoring. Officials are asking that participants wear a mask and practice social distancing.

NYIT will hold seven free COVID-19 vaccine clinics throughout East and Northeast Arkansas over the next two weeks.
