Woodburn Ambulance will begin offering second doses of Covid vaccine at its weekly clinic on March 11, reserving appointments for people who have received their first dose through an earlier event.

The March 11 clinic will open slots from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for people who received their first dose of Moderna vaccine through Woodburn Ambulance, Toni Grimes, director of operations said in an email. The event will be held at Woodburn High School, 1785 N Front St.

People who got their first shot on Feb. 11 can sign up for the March 11 event at this link, using access code 2021. They must have a vaccination card with the date of the first dose marked to get a second shot.

Woodburn Ambulance has had weekly vaccination clinics on Thursdays, except during the ice storm, targeting vaccines at a community that has seen one of the highest rates of Covid in Oregon. The organization’s March 4 clinic at Woodburn High School is full.

Grimes said more first doses will be offered at the March 11 clinic from 1-4 p.m. Sign-ups are not yet open, but updates will be posted on the Woodburn Ambulance Facebook page.
