The Indiana Department of Health announced that it has partnered with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, University of Notre Dame and Ivy Tech Community College to host three mass vaccination clinics to help eligible Hoosiers receive a free COVID-19 vaccine. Hoosiers age 55 and older are now eligible to receive a free vaccine.
The mass vaccination clinics will offer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which received its Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA on Saturday. The vaccine requires only one dose and has been shown to be safe and effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths in clinical trials involving nearly 44,000 participants.
Additional mass vaccination sites in other locations will be planned as more vaccine becomes available. All clinics require advance registration through https://ourshot.in.gov or by calling 211. Proof of age and residency will be required.
