Tulsa Health Department expanding COVID vaccination sites

TULSA, Okla. — On Wednesday, The Tulsa Health Department announced the expansion of COVID-19 vaccine clinic locations beginning April 5th.

New appointment opportunities will be available at the following Tulsa Health Department locations:

• James O. Goodwin Health Center, 5051 S. 129th E. Ave. Tulsa, OK 74134
• Central Regional Health Center, 315 S Utica Ave, Tulsa, OK 74104
• North Regional Health and Wellness Center, 5635 M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Tulsa, OK 74126

Appointments are required. Appointments may be scheduled using the Oklahoma Vaccine Portal at vaccinate.ok.gov.

Any Oklahoman age 16 and older is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A parent or legal guardian must be present with individuals under the age of 18.

THD staff have been administering the vaccine to eligible individuals at Expo Square, on the Caring Vans, and more recently at the North Regional Health and Wellness Center.

“As the vaccine supply and access points become more widely available in Tulsa County, it makes sense for the Tulsa Health Department to utilize our clinic locations where staff routinely administer immunizations to serve residents in a more convenient and efficient manner,” said THD Executive Director Dr. Bruce Dart.

Beginning Monday through April 21st, THD will complete all remaining second-dose appointments at the Expo Square Pavilion that have already been scheduled for those who received their first dose at Expo Square. All new appointments scheduled through the portal will now be offered at the THD clinic locations listed above.

New appointment opportunities will typically be added on Wednesdays. Individuals will be able to select from the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson vaccine on-site, while supply is available.

“There is now ample vaccine supply in our community and multiple access points including local doctors and pharmacies,” said Dr. Dart. “Now is the time to get the vaccine. If you have questions, please talk to your health care provider or call the Tulsa Health Department. We want to empower residents with the information they need to feel confident in their decision to receive the vaccine.”

Appointments can be scheduled online. Call 918-582-9355 to speak to a public health professional. For more information, visit www.tulsa-health.org/COVID19.
