Over the past year, Oriole Park at Camden Yards has masqueraded as a voting center, a food distribution site and a COVID-19 testing facility on top of its regular role as one of Major League Baseball¡¯s destination ballparks. Now it¡¯s becoming a vaccination site.

The Orioles will begin hosting on-site vaccination opportunities at the storied ballpark beginning Friday, the club announced this week. The vaccination opportunities are part of the new ¡°MLB Vaccinate at the Plate¡± program, which seeks to increase vaccination rates and help communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic by offering incentives to unvaccinated fans.

All fans ages 18 and over who choose to receive the vaccine will receive a voucher for two complimentary lower-level tickets redeemable for any game through July 11.

The vaccine offered will be the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, per the club. Vaccinations will be offered at Dempsey¡¯s Brew Pub & Restaurant, along the Eutaw Street promenade. Game tickets are not required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at Oriole Park. Fans my pre-register for appointments at orioles.com/vaccine. Appointments are encouraged but not required, and walk-ups will be accommodated, the club said.

The effort is part of the Orioles¡¯ ongoing commitment to promoting vaccinations and community health. The O's were one of the first clubs to reach MLB¡¯s recommended 85 percent vaccination threshold, and they have routinely championed mask-wearing and vaccines throughout the pandemic.
