FOX THEATRE PARTNERS WITH GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO HOST COVID VACCINE EVENT ON JUNE 4 FROM 6 TO 8 PM
Free Community Event to Offer Vaccines, Live Entertainment and Chance to Win a Host of Giveaways
The Fox Theatre joins forces with the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) to increase accessibility of COVID vaccines to the Atlanta community with a night at the theatre vaccine event on Friday, June 4 from 6 to 8 pm. As part of the Fox Theater’s VAX4LIVE campaign, this unique opportunity provides patrons with access to the vaccine, coupled with live entertainment from six-time Grammy Nominated Ashanti Floyd, known as the Mad Violinist, the Fox Theatre’s famous popcorn and other refreshments. Guests will also be eligible to win prizes, including tickets to future shows and Fox swag.
“When approached with an opportunity to serve our community in this way, we were happy to accept it. As an anchor of Midtown, we are hoping that this free event provides a more convenient and familiar setting for those still looking to get vaccinated,” shared Allan Vella, president and CEO of the Fox Theatre. “We are excited to play any part we can in getting Georgia back open as safely as possible.”
Parking is free for the first 50 patrons in the yellow lot adjacent to the right of the Fox Theatre. The Fox’s marquee will also feature a special message for those wishing to commemorate their vaccine.
“DPH is grateful for the support of the Fox Theatre, and their willingness to host this event,” said Kathleen E. Toomey, M.D., M.P.H., DPH commissioner. “We hope this event encourages people to get vaccinated and provides access to those that are not able to get the vaccine during the workday. We value this partnership and look forward to a night at the theatre.”
COVID vaccine is available to patrons free of charge, pre-registration is available and encouraged by visiting fultonvax.coreresponse.org. No proof of insurance or ID are required. Those who have had their first dose of vaccine elsewhere, are welcome to get their second shot at the Fox as long as they provide their vaccination card that shows proof of Pfizer vaccination, and it is at least 21 days since their first shot.
