People stand socially distanced in line for no-cost COVID-19 vaccinations at the Alamodome on Jan. 11, 2021. Since that day, more than 226,700 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered, according to city officials. The site closes March 26.The city will shut down its drive-thru mass vaccination site next week after 15 months of operating continuously and administering more than 226,700 COVID-19 vaccine doses to the public.
“I am grateful for all those who rose to the occasion each day to meet the challenges of running this drive-thru clinic from the day we opened,” he said. “The effective operation at the Alamodome is proof that we will be able to respond to future surges or similar situations if necessary.”Throughout the pandemic, the Alamodome has housed many COVID-19 recovery and response efforts, including food drives, distribution of personal protective equipment, contact tracing, testing and vaccinations.
City Manager Manager Erik Walsh thanked the San Antonio Fire Department for its work setting up and overseeing these operations at the Alamodome clinic. City officials said they will cease operations at the Alamodome site because of a decrease in people seeking to get vaccinated there. The San Antonio Metropolitan Heath District will continue offering free COVID-19 vaccine pop-up clinics each week in neighborhoods throughout the city.
“We would like to thank everyone who visited the Alamodome drive-thru clinic to get vaccinated in order to protect themselves and our community from this virus,” Metro Health Director Claude Jacob said.
