The HeroZona and Equality Health Foundations are excited to announce they will host the Phoenix stop of Walgreen’s coast-to-coast mobile bus clinic tour on Tuesday, June 22 from 2 to 8 p.m. at Christown Spectrum Mall (15th Ave & Montebello Ave). During the event, children affected by COVID-19 will have free access to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, and adults will have access to the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.

To be eligible, participants must register in advance, check in at their designated time and receive a vaccine onsite. Participants must be 21 years or older to receive a lottery ticket.
“We have partnered with Walgreens on various OneCommunity Initiative events and are heartened by the fact that the company is committed to ensuring the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines,” said Alan “AP” Powell, Chairman of AP & Associates – Strategic Alliances, U.S. Army Desert-Storm Veteran, and founder of HeroZona. “The mobile bus tour is another great way to get underserved communities educated and immunized against the virus.”
