LOUISVILLE, Ky. The Broadbent Arena in Louisville will become a mass vaccination site, according to Louisville Metro Government.
Louisville Metro Interim Medical Director Dr. SarahBeth Hartlage said Tuesday morning the Broadbent Arena, located on the grounds of the Kentucky Expo Center, will start offering drive-through vaccinations beginning next Monday. Initially it will be for healthcare workers and for our EMTs and medical first responders, she said.
Hartlage said the site will be run by more than 200 volunteers and Metro staff. While the site will not be able to give out a ton of vaccines at first, Hartlage said it will ramp up over the next few weeks to where it will be able to give 1,000 to 1,200 doses each day.
