Kleinhans Music Hall hosts COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Saturday

The one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available to those 18 years old and older in the hall's parking lot from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A downtown Buffalo landmark opened its parking lot this weekend for those still looking to get a COVID-19 shot.

Kleinhans Music Hall hosted a clinic this Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. The one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine was administered for people who are 18 years old and older.

Appointments were suggested, but walk-ins were welcome.

Erie County's mobile vaccination unit has made it easier to reach more people close to home.

As an extra incentive, giveaways were provided by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Buffalo Philharmonic will provide free ticket vouchers for its 2021-2022 season.

"I think that's just so important to make sure you're safe for each other in the community," Highmark Western New York president Michael Edbauer said. "Buffalo has this great history of taking care of one another, and I think there is nothing that says you care about your community, quite frankly, than getting vaccinated.

"It's not just for yourself, and certainly it's nice to know we're getting out in the community with the events that we share with each other."
