ANN ARBOR The University of Michigan’s Big House has been transformed into The Big Vaccine Clinic.
A few hundred University of Michigan medical professionals and students who work in health care settings received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday at Michigan Stadium, one of the nation’s largest sporting venues.
Known as The Big House, the on-campus stadium welcomed 100,000-plus maize-and-blue-clad fans on fall Saturdays before the pandemic.
“I am a lifelong University of Michigan football fan and come to the stadium regularly for games, but have never been here in this capacity before,” said Dr. David Miller, chief clinical officer at University Hospital and the cardiovascular center.
