If you’ve been putting this particular thing off, it could get you a $75 gift card in Boston on Saturday if you get it done.

 

The thing? Getting vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19. Boston.com reports that “Anyone 18 and under who gets vaccinated or boosted Saturday at White Stadium will get the reward, as well as any parent or guardian who gets vaccinated or boosted with them.” This is all part of the latest family vaccination event being run by the Boston Public Health Commission.

 

Said Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, commissioner of Public Health and executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, in a statement from the Boston.com piece: “There is a critical need to improve vaccination uptake among school-aged children in Boston, and it is important for all eligible individuals to get the new bivalent omicron-specific booster. This event is another opportunity for us to break down barriers to care and bring COVID vaccines and boosters directly to our communities.”

So here’s the skinny. First thing you’ll want to do is register for Saturday’s event. You can do that here. The Boston Public Health Commission said that they will accept walk-ins, but they strongly encourage registration, given the high turnout of their last vaccination event. Apparently, over 700 people showed up to get their initial COVID-19 vaccine or their booster!

 

Once you’re registered, you’ll be good to go. And again, the perk is for anyone 18 or under who gets vaccinated or boosted. And it’s for any parent or guardian who gets boosted with them. White Stadium is located in Franklin Park, at 450 Walnut Ave. in Boston. Oh, and the “while supplies last” caveat is in effect, so don’t delay. And if you need more information, you can get that here on the City of Boston’s website.

Fan Expo Boston: Who We Spotted

Fan Expo Boston took over the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center over the weekend and we had a correspondent on hand.

 

That correspondent? Beasley Boston’s own Marc Clark. Marc is the Production Director for Beasley’s Boston radio stations. That includes, of course, ROCK 92.9. You’ve heard his voice on some of our commercials and promos. Now, you can see his handiwork with a camera phone.

You see, Marc isn’t just a radio guy. He’s a fan. We’ve had wide-ranging conversations over the years about fandoms like Pokemon and Star Wars and everything in between. So if you’re going to have someone cover an event like Fan Expo, Marc is your guy. He lives it and he loves it.

 

Now, a bit of background on Fan Expo for the uninitiated, straight from their website: “FAN EXPO Boston is a large playground for all fans of comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming that attracts hundreds of thousands of people in Boston.” Are you starting to put to together now? Maybe you were out and about in the city over the weekend and noticed more than the usual number of cosplayers and the like making their way around. Those would be the Fan Expo-goers.

 

Marc snapped a bunch of pics of those cool, costumed customers over the course of this year’s Expo, and he was nice enough to share them with us so we can share them with you.
