CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - All hands are on deck for this weekend’s mass vaccination event at Bank of America Stadium.
The vaccination clinic is part of an effort by Atrium Health, Tepper Sports and Entertainment, Honeywell and the Charlotte Motor Speedway to provide a million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine by July 4th.
The mass vaccination event at Bank of America Stadium is projected to give 19,000 people their first doses of the vaccine from Friday Jan. 29 through Sunday Jan. 31. All appointments are currently full.
Forsyth County health officials say the number of vaccinations they give each day has nearly tripled since the operation moved to the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds complex.
