COVID-19 vaccine site sits idle in Palm Beach County February 1, 2021 at 11:25 PM EST - Updated February 2 at 8:20 AM
A COVID-19 vaccine center that s been in the works for more than a month at the South Florida Fairgrounds sits empty. We were approached by the county maybe about a month or so ago, Vicky Chouris said. They said they were in need of a place to have a drive-in vaccine location.
Chouris is the president and CEO of the South Florida Fairgrounds. She said she told them the fairgrounds has space, so let s build it. We really didn t hesitate to say yes, because that s something that we as an organization, that s our goal, she said. Our mission is to help our community.

Crews are preparing the South Florida Fairgrounds for a mass COVID-19 vaccination site, but nobody s sure when it will open, even though the goal is next Monday.
Palm Beach County says they will be able to vaccinate 7,000 people per day at the site, but they need to start getting enough doses first.
Workers were seen on Monday, lining cones up in the north end parking lot near a newly erected white tent.
The mini South Florida Fair wrapped up there on Sunday and officials with the fairgrounds said they were contacted by the county to see if they had availability of land to host a vaccine center.
