EUGENE, Ore. – Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff visited Eugene, stopping at the White Bird clinic at WOW Hall Monday, to emphasis the importance of everyone in the community getting a COVID-19 vaccination.
Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, entered the WOW Hall vaccination site at 12:57 p.m. Monday, April 5, and toured the venue with Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
White Bird Clinic, which provides crisis services and free medical care in Lane County, partnered with WOW Hall in early March to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to all who are eligible. The community center and live music venue in downtown Eugene, which is owned and operated by the nonprofit Community Center for the Performing Arts, is set up with tables to administer shots and 20 chairs spaced out for people in their observation period after getting their COVID-19 vaccine.
Emhoff watched as Christina McClory, a registered nurse who volunteers with White Bird, administered a vaccine to a visitor to the clinic.
