LANCASTER – Individuals ages 12 and up can get the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for free at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, Lancaster city officials announced Thursday. The city recently hosted a Facebook live event with local infectious disease doctors to directly address vaccination questions for parents [view the video below].

“The city and all of our partners have been working tirelessly to get vaccinations to Lancaster and into residents’ arms as quickly as we can,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “We are excited to be able to open up vaccine appointments to anyone over the age of 12 so our students will be able to safely return to normal alongside the community.”

Residents can get vaccinated at the AV Fairgrounds by either making an appointment or stopping by. Walk-ins are welcome and same day appointments are also available. To make an appointment, visit: https://myturn.ca.gov/.

COVID-19 vaccinations are free of charge and do not require proof of citizenship or health insurance. Individuals under the age of 18 must bring a parent or guardian to their appointment.

    Young healthy people and people that have had Covid-19?(natural immunity) should not take shot. Mayor Parris is so wrong on promoting an experimental vaccine with unknown long term effects on young people when the risk is so low with Covid-19 and the risk is so high with vaccine. Not common sense data thinking.

      The U$ medical industry is driven by fraud, greed, and malpractice. There have been rumors that Pharma wants to add regularly scheduled follow-up shots for C19. The CEO of Pfizer is a vet of all things.

      Dr. Fauci is a quack who thinks he is in the ‘Ndrangheta, and Bill Gates is a eugenics guy. Gates has conducted pharma tests in Africa and India that have left children crippled, sick, and sterile. Don’t let his “Mr. Rogers” shtick fool you.

          Fox News is why we can’t have nice things.

            what’s your thoughts on President Biden when he can’t speak a complete sentence? In my opinion he seems like an old man at end of life.

        I call Goebbels-bot. Not one bit of truth or actual logical sentence structure in the entire babble.

      Zink, you continue to spout nonsensical trumplican lies again. You really do need to look into that. Since you are repeating yourself, I will do so, as well:
      Several recent studies have shown that the immunity received from natural infection is not the same as that from the COVID vaccines. Natural immunity is primarily based on the viral body, itself, with only some attention paid to the spike protein the virus uses to invade the body’s cells. The vaccine, however, triggers the body to create immunities to the spike proteins. Why does this matter? The viral body, which contain the genes for the virus, is far more subject to mutation than the spike proteins, making natural immunity more specifically targeted on a moving target and, therefore, fragilely subject to future viral mutations. This is not a new finding.

      Seriously, Zink, you and your boneheaded trumplican buddies are in serious need of professional psychiatric assistance. Your continued insanity is making you a danger to yourself and others.

    Wow that is only TEN POINTS behind the state as a whole!!!

    Just imagine where Lancaster would be without Wrecks “working tirelessly.”

    It must be a tough job, keeping his city consistently last.
