The Fishers Health Department (FHD) announced Wednesday that it will offer vaccinations and testing during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday, Jan. 17.
“With many schools and businesses closed for the holiday, this is a prime opportunity to complete your first round of vaccinations or get boosted so that you can protect yourself and your loved ones from this latest COVID surge,” said Monica Heltz, public health director for the Fishers Health Department.
The Fishers Vaccination Clinic, 12520 E. 116th St., will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 17 for both walk-ins and appointments. Weekend hours will continue as usual, open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed on Sunday. Appointments can be made at fishers.in.us/vaccine. FHD has given nearly 90,000 vaccines to date, and more than 9,000 vaccinations in the past two weeks as the new omicron variant contributes to rising cases.
The Fishers Testing Site, 3 Municipal Drive, will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for drive-thru testing, along with priority testing for students and staff of K-12 Fishers-based schools from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tests can be scheduled at fishers.in.us/testing. The Fishers Testing Site has administered more than 97,000 tests since opening in April 2020.
