Baptist Health Community Outreach, Central Arkansas Library System Partnering for COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – In June, Baptist Health Community Outreach and the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) are partnering for COVID-19 vaccine clinics at Pulaski County library locations.

The single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be administered between 9:30 a.m. and noon at the following mobile clinics:

  • Wednesday, June 2, at Sue Cowan Williams Library, 1800 Chester St. in Little Rock
  • Wednesday, June 9, at the Main Library, 100 Rock St. in Little Rock
  • Monday, June 14, at Sidney S. McMath Library, 2100 John Barrow Road in Little Rock

Those coming to be vaccinated must be 18 years of age or older. Please bring a photo ID. To schedule an appointment, please call (501) 202-1540. Walk-up vaccinations will also be available on a limited basis.

COVID-19 was the third-leading cause of death in the United States in 2020 behind only heart disease and cancer. While there isn’t a vaccine that prevents the first two leading causes of death, there is a vaccine for the third.

By taking action and getting the vaccine, you are not only protecting yourself, but also helping to protect your family, friends, coworkers and fellow residents.
