United Way of Lee County Sponsors Evening Drive-Through COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics

United Way of Lee County is sponsoring several evening drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinics this summer. Clinical staff from Campbell University is providing and administering the vaccines, which are available to adults age 18 and over. Free transportation to the clinics is available via COLTS; to schedule a ride, call 919-776-7201, ext. 2219 (preferably two days prior to the event). There is no charge for the vaccine, and no identification or insurance information is needed.

The Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine will be administered on June 14 from 5:00-7:30 p.m. in the Mann Center parking lot at 507 N. Steele Street in Sanford. Enter the lot from Weatherspoon Street.

The Moderna vaccine will be administered on June 28 between 5:00-7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church at 901 N. Franklin Drive in Sanford; enter from the Franklin Drive side. A Moderna second-dose clinic will be held on July 26 for those who receive the first dose on June 28.

“We are so glad to be able to provide this service to our community,” said Kendra Martin, Executive Director of United Way of Lee County. “We know that vaccines are a proven way to protect ourselves, our families, and our community from COVID-19, and we are extremely grateful to Campbell for making these clinics possible.”

Preregistration for the clinics is encouraged but not required; visit www.leecountyunitedway.org/vaccine to preregister. The preregistration form asks only for your name and clinic choice; identification is not required to register or to receive the vaccine. Masks are required at the drive-through clinics.
