"Anyone who needs a COVID-19 vaccine can get one for free. Please do not miss this vital opportunity to protect yourself and those around you," said Dr. Richard Riggs, senior vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer at the hospital. "We want our patients and members of the community to know that our vaccine clinics are available and ready to serve."
