Mass Vaccination Site Opens at Keeley Park

(April 9, 2021 2:04 PM) Henry Ford Allegiance Health (HFAH) and the Jackson County Health Department (JCHD) are launching a mass vaccination site at the original American 1 Event Center at Keeley Park.

With the quickly rising number of COVID cases among college students, HFAH and JCHD today are working together to vaccinate local college students. Using this new mass vaccination clinic, the partnering organizations provided immunizations to students from Albion College, Jackson College and Spring Arbor University on Friday, April 9.

“With the uptick in cases among younger people, increasing the number of students vaccinated is an important piece in efforts to control the spread of the virus,” says Henry Ford Allegiance Health VP of Population Health Courtland Keteyian, MD.

The mass vaccination clinic—located in the original American 1 Credit Union Event Center at Keeley Park (Jackson County Fairgrounds)—will be open most Saturdays and Sundays, as supply permits.

Anyone age 16 and up is eligible to make an appointment for vaccinations at this new clinic.

To schedule a first-dose appointment, community members may:

• Use MyChart. Henry Ford Health System patients without a MyChart account can sign up online.
• Contact their primary care provider’s office.

All Michigan residents over the age of 16 are now eligible for a vaccine; plans are underway to host a future clinic for high school students.
