SOUTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – Lehigh Valley Health Network said it will begin mass vaccinations of COVID-19 at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom on Wednesday, January 27th.
LVHN will vaccinate those aged 75 and over and only those with an appointment. The drive-through clinic will take place between 8:00 and 16:00. Vaccination is free.
LVHN said that people aged 75 and over are urged to use MyLVHN to schedule a vaccination meeting on their own. Those who already have an account will receive a notification to schedule a vaccination meeting. Those who want to sign up for MyLVHN can visit the LVHN website and click “Sign Up” at the top of the page. Once registered, these people will also receive a notification to schedule a meeting. People can also call 833-LVHN-CVD (833-584-6283).
The ability to schedule a meeting depends on the supply of vaccine available at LVHN, which is set by the state, according to a health network press release.
LVHN said it would continue to expand its mass immunization program. Sites in Northampton and Monroe counties are set up in coordination with local health offices and authorities. People need an appointment to receive the vaccine at all LVHN locations, including mass immunization sites, where the health network has said it expects to vaccinate at least 5,000 people a day when it has an adequate amount of vaccine. .
LVHN says that even after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, people should continue to wear a mask in public, wash their hands frequently, and stay socially away until the majority of the community is vaccinated.
