Owensboro Public Schools has announced plans for the next three weeks as they continue a partnership to provide free COVID-19 vaccines to families and students through their summer feeding program.

Starting Monday, vaccines will be administered by the Green River District Health Department along OPD Food Service Routes. The Health Department will provide information for the second dose at these locations when people receive their first dose.

(Owensboro Health will continue to administer along the Green route this week and provide the second dose July 5-9. This does not interfere with those sites.)

The schedule for GRDHD to administer the first dose is as follows:

  • Red route
    • June 21 — Kendall Perkins, 10:45-11:45 a.m.
    • June 22 — Greentree Apartments, 11:10 a.m.-12:10 p.m.
    • June 23 — Carter Rd./Apollo Ct., 11:35 a.m.-12:35 p.m.
    • June 24 — Cravens Pool, 12-1 p.m.
    • June 25 — Lincolnshire Apartments, 12:25-1:25 p.m.
  • Blue route
    • June 28 — Chesterfield/River Road, 10:45-11:45 a.m.
    • June 29 — Smothers Park, 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
    • June 30 — Goose Egg Park, 12-1 p.m.
    • July 1 — Cadillac, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
  • Grey route
    • July 6 — 7th & JR Miller, 10:45-11:45 a.m.
    • July 6 — Dixiana Court, 12:20-1:20 p.m.
    • July 7 — 6th & Center St., 11:10 a.m.-12:10 p.m.
    • July 8 — Alexander & 20th, 11:35 a.m.-12:35 p.m.
    • July 9 — Colonel House, 12-1 p.m.

To receive the vaccine, you will need the following:

  • Parent/Legal Guardian (if under 18)
  • Insurance Card (if you have one, you do not need insurance to get vaccinated)
  • Proof of Age (license, birth certificate, etc.)

Those getting their vaccine during the first week will also receive their second dose the week of July 5-9, and the schedule will remain the same.
