SOUTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. – Lehigh Valley Health Network said it will begin mass vaccination of COVID-19 in Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom on Wednesday, January 27.
LVHN will vaccinate people aged 75 and over, and only those by appointment. The drive-through clinic will be held from 8 am to 4 pm. Vaccination is free.
LVHN said those 75 and older should use MyLVHN to schedule a vaccination appointment. Those who already have an account will receive a notification to schedule the vaccination appointment. Those who wish to sign up for MyLVHN can visit the LVHN website and click on “Sign Up” at the top of the page. Once enrolled, these people will also receive a notification to schedule an appointment. People can also call 833-LVHN-CVD (833-584-6283).
The ability to schedule an appointment depends on the supply of the vaccine available at the LVHN, which is determined by the state, according to a statement from the health network.
LVHN said it will continue to expand its mass immunization program. Locations in Northampton and Monroe counties are being established in coordination with local health agencies and authorities. People need an appointment to receive the vaccine at all LVHN sites, including mass immunization sites, where the health care network has said it expects to vaccinate at least 5,000 people a day when there is an adequate vaccine supply.
LVHN says that even after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, people should continue to wear a mask in public, wash their hands frequently and remain socially remote until the majority of the community is vaccinated.
