(Fremont County, WY) – Fremont County Public Health announced earlier this month they will be giving booster shots (3rd doses) of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine as per the CDC’s recommendations on Mondays and Wednesdays in Lander and Tuesdays in Riverton.
“We will also be having drive-thru clinics in both communities,” their release states.
The dates and location for the drive-thru clinics are as follows:

- Riverton Public Health Parking lot on Thursday, October 21st & 22nd from 10 am to 4 pm.
For the Riverton clinic, you will need to enter from Fairgrounds Road from South Federal and will exit out Monroe, as it will be one-way traffic for these clinics.
Dubois residents may contact Mountain Sage Clinic to schedule a time for their booster dose or come to one of our drive-up clinics in Riverton or Lander.
Proof of 2 doses of the Pfizer series vaccination with the last dose being a minimum of 6 months is required upon arrival in order to receive a booster.

They also ask you to wear a short-sleeved shirt on the day of your shot.
You will also need to wait in your car for 15 minutes after receiving your shot.
