EUGENE, OR—The Community Access Center, Lane County Public Health’s (LCPH) vaccine clinic at Valley River Center (VRC), has reopened following a temporary closure to make necessary changes. The clinic will now offer both COVID and flu shots, extended hours, additional health focused resources and services, and an improved waiting area.
“Our goal for these changes is to improve access to basic health services like vaccination, knowing that it can be a challenge to squeeze a vaccination appointment into an already busy day,” said LCPH Communicable Disease Community Response Program Supervisor, Elizabeth Miglioretto.”Now, community members can simply walk in with their whole family while doing other shopping, get their shot, and be on their way.”
The clinic will be accepting walk-in patients from 1 PM to 7 PM, Monday through Saturday and 11 AM to 5 PM on Sundays. The clinic will be offering pediatric vaccines for both COVID and flu as well. Community members are encouraged to bring their insurance card (Oregon Health Plan and private insurance are both accepted).
The LCPH Community Access Center is located inside the Valley River Center Mall (293 Valley River Center), next to the Round 1 Arcade, which is located on River Path side of VRC.
Closest parking lot entrance is the door between Round1 and back of the Regal Cinema building.
From bus station, proceed past the Regal Cinema entrance, turn left at first hallway, (walking to the escalator to second level is wrong direction), proceed left until you nearly enter Round1, turn right into the Community Access Center.
