INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Department of Health is hosting three mass vaccination clinics to help get as many qualifying Hoosiers vaccinated against COVID-19.
The vaccination clinics will be offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was approved for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration last week and is being shipped across the country.
Here is the clinic schedule:

ISDH said more dates may be added to each of the above sites depending on demand and vaccine availability.
All clinics require advance registration through ourshot.in.gov or by calling 211. No walk-ups will be permitted.
The IMS put out a statement saying it was happy to do its part.
“We’re a community-first organization, and we’re extremely proud to assist with this important effort to keep Hoosiers safe and healthy,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “I encourage those who are eligible to sign up, and I’d like to thank our state’s leadership – most especially Governor Holcomb and Dr. Box – for the opportunity to team up and pitch in.”
“Getting tens of thousands of vaccines in arms in a matter of days is a huge undertaking that requires incredible partnerships,” Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb said. “We are incredibly grateful to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Notre Dame and Ivy Tech for their willingness to meet this challenge head on to help save Hoosier lives.”
Additional mass vaccination sites in other locations will be planned as more vaccine becomes available.
On Tuesday morning, the ISDH opened up vaccine registration to Hoosiers 55 and older.
