The second vaccine clinic will be held on Friday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in MCCC’s South Hall Community Room, 101 College Drive, Pottstown. Appointments are required. 

All attendees will receive a free burger, chips, water and giveaways, courtesy of JBS Foods. As an added incentive, anyone 21 years and older who gets vaccinated at either campus will be entered into a drawing hosted by JBS to win free meat for a family of four for a year.

Giant Pharmacy will administer the Pfizer vaccine at both locations. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine may also be available, depending on supply availability.  If you receive the Pfizer vaccine, a follow-up appointment for your second dose will be scheduled for you to return three weeks after your first dose.  The Pfizer COVID vaccine has received FDA Emergency Use Authorization for individuals 12 years and over.
