WALCOTT, Iowa — Iowa 80 Truckstop, known as the “World’s Largest Truckstop,” will offer a COVID-19 vaccine clinic from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, June 3. This will be the second vaccine clinic offered at the site in partnership with Hy-Vee Pharmacy; the first was held May 4.
No appointment is needed for the walk-in clinic, which will be conducted on the third floor of the main building at Iowa 80 Truckstop, located off Interstate 80 at exit 284 in Walcott.
Both the Pfizer vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine will be offered. Anyone age 12 or older can receive the Pfizer vaccine, and anyone 18 or older can receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Children ages 12-17 will need to have a legal guardian present.

I guess this would be Walcott’s way of contributing to the on going driver shortage. This is not a vaccine, even the CDC says that it will not prevent you from getting COVID. However, it has more deaths and long term complications that go with it than all previous vaccines combined.
So, I guess if you want to take this shot, go for it. Maybe with the larger driver shortage, the ones that don’t take it, and survive, will have even more reason for pay raises.
