Post Date:07/12/2021 1:37 PM

The Guilford County Division of Public Health (GCDPH) will host the first series of mobile health unit events beginning this Wednesday, July 14, 2021.

A soft launch was held for the mobile health unit on Friday, July 9 at the Greensboro Public Health Building on 1203 Maple Street in Greensboro. COVID vaccines were administered to Guilford County staff and clients.

The mobile health unit will provide free COVID-19 vaccinations to community members aged 12 and older:

  • Wednesday, July 14, 8:00 AM- 11:00 AM
    • Greensboro Farmer’s Market (501 Yanceyville Street, Greensboro, NC 27401)
  • Friday, July 16, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
    • Colt's Apartments (3909 Winter Garden Lane, Greensboro, NC 27407)

No pre-registration is required for a vaccine appointment at the mobile health unit. Vaccinations will be given on a first-come-first-served basis while supplies last.

Community members may select which vaccine is most convenient for them. The mobile unit will offer:

  • Moderna Vaccine (Approved for ages 18 and older, two dose vaccine)
  • Pfizer Vaccine (Approved for ages 12 and older, two dose vaccine)
  • Johnson & Johnson (Approved for ages 18 and older, single dose vaccine)

Vaccinations at the mobile unit will follow the same process as those administered in stationary clinics. Those interested in receiving a vaccine should prepare for the following:

  • Sign-In (no ID required)
  • Vaccine Administration
  • 15-30-minute observation period (this will take place outdoors under the mobile unit awning)
  • Scheduling of second dose appointment for individuals receiving the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines

The GCDPH continues to plan additional community COVID-19 vaccination events as part of the ongoing initiative to make quality healthcare programs and COVID vaccines more accessible in Guilford County.
