CLEVELAND — Those still in need of the COVID-19 vaccination will have another place available to get it this week.

Over the next two weeks there will be five different vaccination clinics at different Cleveland Public Library branches. The first one is set at the Rockport Branch on Monday, August 2 from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. There will be another vaccination clinic on Wednesday, August 4, from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. at the Glenville Branch, one on Friday, August 6, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Memorial-Nottingham Branch, at the Rice Branch on Monday, August 9, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. and the last one will be on Wednesday, August 11, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Harvard-Lee Branch.
