LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Vaccine sites throughout Kentucky and Indiana are welcoming people seeking to get their coronavirus vaccines to come without scheduling an appointment.
The UofL Health mass vaccination site in Cardinal Stadium's parking lot is one of many sites around Kentucky that have been allowing walk-up appointments.
"We didn't want to say no to anybody. Anybody that wants to be vaccinated, we wanted to provide that to them, so we set up our system to where it's best to have an appointment, it makes it easier, but we took walk-ups from the very beginning just because we knew we wanted to provide it to anybody who wanted it," UofL Hospital Associate Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hugh Shoff said.
