Tribal Nations Holding Vaccination Events Around Northeast Oklahoma

There are several COVID-19 Vaccination events happening Saturday in Northeast Oklahoma.

The Osage Nation has around 250 doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine on hand, which they'll be administering on a first-come, first-served basis at their event. It'll be from 10 to 2 on Saturday at the Osage Casino Hotel Event Center.

The tribe will also be offering the Moderna Vaccine. The event is for anyone 18 and older and you don't need to have an appointment.

The Cherokee Nation is also holding a vaccine clinic on Saturday at the Hard Rock Casino from noon until 6. Healthcare workers will administer 1,000 doses to anyone 18 and older. They have not said which specific vaccines will be available.

Just like the Osage Nation event, you don't need to have an appointment to get the vaccine.

Finally, the Muscogee Creek Nation's vaccine event is already underway for its second day. The tribe says they had 4,000 doses of the vaccine, which they're giving away at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. The event started at 8 and will run until 5 p.m.

The event is open to non-tribal members as well but an appointment is needed.
