There are still thousands of people in the 65 and older age group that need to get vaccinated, but many of them got their shots at the Rose Bowl in Tulsa Wednesday.

More than 1,100 people were vaccinated Wednesday at a COVID-19 clinic operated by Immy Labs, and hosted by One Hope Tulsa Ministries. Immy is a Norman based diagnostics company that until recently was only handling testing for COVID-19.

Dr. Sean Bauman, CEO, said the Tulsa clinic was the fifth vaccination clinic his company has handled, with more planned, including one Friday in Norman. 

“Our goal is to provide massive vaccine clinics, on the order of 5,000 or 10,000 people in a single location, in a day,” said Bauman. “The entire thing is built on convenience, from the patients perspective, with the patient in mind.” 

The process, said Bauman, was modeled after the customer service of Chick-fil-A.

“It's five minutes until you sit in the seat and 15 minutes after, while you wait, so it's a fast process," Bauman said.

A key distinction in the operation is that patients enter and take a seat in rows, with paperwork and the vaccine brought to them. The patients stay in place for the observation period afterward.

The largely 65 and older people getting the vaccine often have difficulty standing and walking. The process can take as little as 25 minutes.

“I feel kind of relieved, now maybe I can go and do some things,” said Dan Smith, after getting the vaccine.

Jerry Rose said he was glad to get the appointment after weeks of waiting.

“I've been trying to get one, on the state system, but its booked up, booked up, booked up,” Rose said.

Lydia Jones was glad to get the vaccine Wednesday. She said lost a good friend to the virus at Christmas and a cousin last week.

“It's hard, it's a terrible thing,” said Jones.

The clinic was hosted at the Rose Bowl, by One Hope Tulsa. Reverand Joe Blankenship said he was grateful that people in the area could get the vaccine.

“That just brings tears to my eyes, that what's it's about, giving people hope again. This is a super vulnerable age group, wanting that life line, so they've jumped at the opportunity," Blankenship said.

90-year-old Margaret Jane Moore said as a child, she remembered her parents talking about the toll of the 1918 pandemic, but never imagined she would live through one. She said she’s spent most of the last year at home.

“I like living, so I want to keep going,” said Moore.
