Notre Dame will operate mass vaccination clinic at Compton Arena

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- The University of Notre Dame will be operating a mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Compton Family Ice Arena for eligible Indiana residents throughout the region. It will be held at the end of March.

The Indiana Department of Health announced Tuesday there will be similar clinics at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Ivy Tech Community College in Sellersberg.

“When the state of Indiana was deciding where to locate a mass COVID-19 vaccination center in northern Indiana, it asked Notre Dame. We welcomed the opportunity to help,” University President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., said. “I could not be prouder of the University for making it possible to help our local community combat this persistent disease.”

The clinic at the ice arena will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on March 26 and 27. The one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be provided free to those who meet the eligibility guidelines in effect at the time.

To participate in the clinic, you must register in advance at https://ourshot.in.gov or call 211.

Indiana’s Area Agencies on Aging, AARP and nearly 70 libraries statewide also can help people schedule appointments.
