Mass vaccination events still on, COVID-19 testing sites close for extreme cold

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — Centura confirms its mass COVID-19 vaccination drive-thru event at The Broadmoor World Arena will happen as planned this weekend, despite a frigid forecast.

“The mass vaccination clinic at Broadmoor World Arena will proceed as planned Feb. 13 and 14. People who will be vaccinated are advised to remain safe and warm in their vehicles. Staff and caregivers throughout the venue will be appropriately dressed for the weather and will be provided with ample opportunities to take breaks with access to indoor areas to warm up and rest. ” Centura spokesperson Andy Sinclair said.

Centura said it will be utilizing the World Arena’s building to store the vaccine before administering it to about 5,000 seniors and teachers Saturday and Sunday. Heated shipping containers will also be available for staff to use to keep warm.

Similarly, there are no changes to UCHealth’s indoor vaccine clinics scheduled for Saturday at UCHealth’s Memorial Administrative Center and Memorial Hospital North. However, Sunday’s second dose drive-thru clinic in Denver originally scheduled at Coors Field has been moved to the Bruce Schroffel Conference Center at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.

“UCHealth staff are reaching out to all 1,000 patients scheduled to notify them of the change for the Sunday clinic,” said UCHealth spokesperson Cary Vogrin. “Those with My Health Connection accounts will receive a message, and those without an account will get a phone call.”
