The Springfield Fire Department is partnering with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department to offer two Fire Station Fun Day and Vaccine Clinics.
The first one will be held Monday, June 21 at Fire Station #1. Fire State 1 is located at 720 E. Grand near the Missouri State University campus in the Phelps Grove neighborhood.
The second will be held Wednesday, June 30 at Fire Station #5 (2750 W. Kearney), in the Tom Watkins neighborhood.
Both events will run from 3-5 pm.
While parents are getting their vaccine, children can interact with firefighters, see a fire truck up close, color in Springfield Fire Department coloring books, decorate the fire station’s sidewalks with chalk and work on a home fire escape plan.
“The Fire Department wants to continue to remove barriers for folks and help the Health Department ‘meet people where they are’ to encourage vaccination,” said Fire Chief David Pennington. “Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19.”
For questions about the vaccine, call the Springfield-Greene County Health Department’s COVID-19 hotline at 417-874-1211.
