INDIANAPOLIS — Another mass vaccination clinic begins Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The clinic will be open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and provide the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine Thursday-Saturday, April 13-18 and April 24-30.
All appointment slots are filled for the first round of clinics and most are unavailable for the second, but people can still schedule a time between April 24-30.
"We are excited because we will be doing an historic number of vaccines today. Six thousand in one day. There has never been a record, as far as we can tell, where as many have been done in one spot," Kristen Kelley of IU Health said.
