The Indiana Department of Health announced Tuesday it has extended its COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway through Feb. 26, and has revised the hours of operation.
The clinic is in the INDYCAR parking lot, 4551 W. 16th St., Indianapolis, across from Gate 2. It offers the Pfizer pediatric and adult vaccines, as well as the Moderna vaccine. Both primary vaccines and booster doses are available, according to a state health department news release.
Due to a national shortage of rapid tests, individuals seeking testing at IMS should be prepared to receive a PCR test. If rapid tests are available, they will be available only to individuals age 18 and younger and symptomatic individuals age 50 and older, according to the news release.
Vaccinations and testing are offered on the following schedule: noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Appointments are strongly recommended, but walk-ins will be accepted while capacity permits. Individuals who have already scheduled appointments for 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays will be notified about rescheduling, state health officials said.
To pre-register for a COVID-19 test at the site, visit www.coronavirus.in.gov and click on the testing link at the top of the page, then search for the 46222 ZIP code, the news release said.
