LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The city of Louisville's mass vaccination site at Broadbent Arena will be closed Monday due to the forecasted winter storm in the area, Mayor Greg Fischer said Sunday.
During a news conference, the mayor said those scheduled to receive their vaccine will get an email to reschedule "according to their availability." The ice storm that moved through Kentuckiana last week forced the site to close early on Feb. 10 and all day on Feb. 11.
Fischer said officials have not made a decision yet about whether they will close the site Tuesday or later in the week.
"If you have an appointment, please show up," Fischer said. "If you can't show up, please let us know as well."
Doses will be reserved for anyone who was forced to reschedule because of the weather.
The North Central District Health Department is also rescheduling vaccination appointments at its clinics through Wednesday due to the weather. Appointments for both the first dose and booster shot of the vaccine at the Shelby County Health Department and Shelby County Fairgrounds have been rescheduled for next week.
If you are unable to attend your new vaccine appointment, you are asked to call 502-390-2600 or reply to your confirmation email to cancel your appointment.
Health department officials said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention allows the booster dose of the vaccine to be extended beyond the 28-day waiting period if necessary.
