Scranton, Pa., June 17, 2021 – Friday’s Kick it to the Curb COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Scranton Cultural Center is expanding its offerings to include all FDA emergency authorized COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson). In addition to providing first doses to those who have not yet received any vaccine, the clinic will distribute second doses of vaccines initiated by other Pennsylvania providers, as long the first dose of Moderna was given four or more weeks earlier, and the first dose of Pfizer three or more weeks earlier. These changes are being made to help Lackawanna County residents achieve full protection against the spread of COVID-19 and unpredictable virus variants. The event also features a free fresh food market, prizes, and giveaways.
