Newly vaccinated youth can have their picture taken with five local basketball stars who are in the NBA or are playing overseas. In addition, families can earn up to a $100 in gift cards for a child who completes their vaccination.
Residents are strongly encouraged to pre-register for the event at cityofrochester.gov/shotforashot. Parents and guardians must bring their identification to the event, as well as any identification they have for their children.
