Kenosha County moving COVID-19 vaccine clinic to former Shopko location
A former Shopko store location will be used by the Kenosha County Public Health Department to operate their COVID-19 vaccine clinics.
Starting Wednesday, March 10, clinics will move from the Kenosha Job Center to 5300 52nd Street in Kenosha.
Kenosha County Health Officer Dr. Jen Freiheit says with the ability to increase the number of vaccination stations from 11 to 25 inside the former Shopko store, the new facility will be able to increase their ability to vaccinate people from about 1,000 to around 2,700 per day, pending available supply of the vaccine.
“Kenosha County has already been a leader in Wisconsin in delivering the COVID-19 vaccine to residents efficiently and expediently, and this new clinic operation will allow us to take this vital service to the next level,” says Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser. “I look forward to continuing to work with our state and federal partners to bring as many doses as possible into our community and into our residents’ arms as quickly as possible.”
