OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Oklahoma City-County Health Department has chosen a developer for a multi-million dollar expansion to its campus. The expansion includes a new site for drive-thru testing and vaccinations.
The department said its $4.5 million expansion will happen in two phases with a 7,000-square foot drive-thru facility. The drive-thru facility is expected to be completed in July.
This will be primarily used for vaccinations and COVID-19 testing.
OCCHD Director Dr. Patrick McGough said the drive-thru will be a gamechanger once construction is finished. We will still be trying to get vaccines out to people, so it will have exponential impact as well, Dr. McGough said.
