Grand Junction Convention Center Will Be Mass Vaccination Point
COVID-19 vaccine distribution is going to the next level in Grand Junction.
Beginning this week, Grand Junction Convention Center is a mass vaccination point in Mesa County. Appointments are now being taken for those that are in the designated priority groups to receive the vaccine.
Jeff Kuhr, Mesa County Public Health Executive Director, says 20 vaccinators on site will be able to vaccinate 10 people per hour which translates to about 1200 doses administered per day. Expanded vaccination capability remains a possibility if needed in the future, as currently, only about two-thirds of the available space at the convention center is being utilized.
