On Wednesday, May 5, Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) will begin accepting walk-ins without an appointment for the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine for everyone 16 and older at all COVID-19 vaccine locations. (Note: Anyone under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to get vaccinated.) Those who already received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine will receive the second Moderna dose at these sites. COVID-19 vaccinations provided by LVHN are free. Pfizer vaccine has emergency use authorization (EUA) for people ages 16 and older, while Moderna has EUA for people ages 18 and older.

People looking to get vaccinated can visit one of these five convenient locations with or without an appointment:

  1. COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic–Northampton Crossings

  2. COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic–Pocono

  3. COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic–Hazleton

  4. COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic–Schuylkill

  5. COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic–MacArthur Road

In addition to these vaccination clinics, LVHN will hold a mass vaccination drive-through event on Wednesday, May 12 at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. On this date, we expect to administer 5,000 first doses of the Moderna vaccine for free to everyone 18 and older. Making an appointment for the Dorney Park event or any of our vaccine clinics is now simpler than ever:
