The national nonprofit GK Folks Foundation, The Utah Black Chamber of Commerce, The Refuge Group, The Best of Africa and Project Success Coalition have teamed up with Salt Lake Community College and the Salt Lake County Health Department to offer free COVID-19 vaccinations on May 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The clinic is a drive-thru site staffed by employees from the Salt Lake County Health Department. The clinic will take place at SLCC’s Taylorsville Redwood Campus in lot V, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Access lot V is on Redwood Road just north of Bruin Blvd., which is 4445 South. See map for exact location.)
Appointments will be in made in 15-minute intervals, with a total of 250 doses available to the public. The GK Folks Foundation’s goal for this clinic is draw as many people as possible who identify as Refugees, African, African American, Caribbean and Black, but no one will be turned away.
The May 1 clinic will only offer first-dose COVID-19 vaccinations. Those vaccinated on May 1 will be scheduled for an appointment to receive a second dose on May 29, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the same location on the Taylorsville Redwood Campus.
