KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As part of its goal to increase vaccinations, the Unified Government Public Health Department will offer free COVID-19 vaccinations at Sporting KC events.

Any ticketholders who are at least 12 years old or older are eligible to be vaccinated, according to a news release, and two events will be held later this month.

The first event, which includes COVID-19 testing, will take place Wednesday when SKC faces San Jose. Anyone who gets vaccinated will receive an SKC scarf.

The second event will be held July 31, when SKC takes on Dallas.

Both games have a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be offered.
