In a stark contrast to just a month ago, the city of Seattle is practically begging residents to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Now, people can get it done during the 7th-inning stretch.
Starting Tuesday, when the Mariners host the Baltimore Orioles, the Seattle Fire Department will be giving out vaccines at Mariners' home games, something first offered at Sunday's Sounders' game, where 83 fans got their first dose.
“Having a presence at our City’s sporting events allows us to go where the people are to provide vaccinations. We want to make access to the vaccine as easy as possible, and are excited to announce that Marines fans can now attend Tuesday’s game with family and friends, and also receive either their first dose of the Moderna vaccine or a single-dose of Johnson & Johnson,” Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said in a news release.
