UAB updates COVID vaccination progress, brief Hoover Met site shutdown in May
Vaccination rates slowing down By Alan Collins | April 7, 2021 at 9:26 PM CDT - Updated April 7 at 9:26 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A top doctor at UAB announced Wednesday the school will shut down a major vaccination site for a couple of weeks in Jefferson County at the Hoover Met.
UAB still wants to vaccinate as many people as possible, so there will be new, smaller sites which will be added in the coming days.
The shutdown is needed because the SEC Baseball Tournament is coming back to Hoover.
At the Hoover Met, UAB is vaccinating about 1,200 people a day. UAB has given about 144,000 vaccinations at all of their sites. From the very beginning in discussions with the city Hoover, it was always planned to close down operations allowing the baseball games to return. This a major money maker for the city.
