On Tuesday, Aug. 17 and Wednesday, Aug. 18, OCCHD will be at the OKC Zoo administering the COVID-19 vaccine from 8 a.m. to noon in the Rosser Conservation Education Center, located at the east end of the Zoo’s main parking lot. Attendees should park by and enter through the education center.

Anyone who gets vaccinated during that time frame will receive a voucher for free general Zoo admission.

The OKC Zoo is also extending its free admission offer to anyone who presents a full COVID-19 CDC vaccine card from 8 a.m. to noon on the event days. Guests must present their completed vaccination card at the Zoo’s ticket window to receive free admission. One complimentary general admission is offered per vaccination card and the offer is only valid on Aug. 17 and Aug. 18, 2021. The Zoo is already offering free admission to all guests that make a reservation at okczoo.org/tickets the weeks of August 9-13 and 16-20, from noon until 4 p.m., so getting vaccinated or being vaccinated allows people to enter earlier.

OCCHD will have all three vaccines available both days. Young people age 12 to 17 are only eligible for the Pfizer vaccine. A parent or legal guardian must be on site with the child, unless the minor brings a signed consent form. The consent forms are found at VaxOKC.com/forms or printed at a Metropolitan Library location.
