Lamont McClure and Lehigh Valley Hospital-Coordinated Health Allentown Hospital (LVH-CHA) announce new hours of operation at the drive-through COVID-19 testing and vaccination center. Beginning on Monday, June 28th, hours of operation at the site will be Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 10:00AM – 2:00PM and Tuesday/Thursday from 2:00PM – 6:00PM. Vaccinations are by appointment only and only available for Northampton County residents, age eighteen and over. Patients can choose from all three vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Pfizer and Moderna require two shots administered three weeks apart, Johnson and Johnson requires only one dose.

 

As of June 18th, sixty-eight people have received at least one shot at the testing site.

 

“While rates of infection and hospitalizations from COVID-19 are dropping, residents should be aware that the virus is still active in our area,” says Lamont McClure. “The positive rate among people tested at our drive-through center continues to hover close to 22%.”

 

To make an appointment for a vaccine at the COVID-19 testing site use one of the following options:

 

  1. Schedule at the LVHN website at LVHN.org/appointments.
  2. Schedule on the MyLVHN patient portal, at MyLVHN.org.
  3. Call 833-584-6283 (833-LVHN-CVD). The COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline is open Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

 

A Physician’s order is not required for a COVID-19 test. The drive-through site is open to everyone, but only residents of Northampton County will have the cost of testing covered by the County if they do not have health coverage. All testing will be through HNL Lab Medicine unless insurance requires an alternate laboratory. Participants should bring a photo ID and their insurance card, if they have one, with them to the testing site.
