Ohio State transforms Schottenstein Center into mass vaccination site Staff vaccinate 400 university health care workers during soft launch Staff from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center vaccinated more than 400 of their peers today at the Jerome Schottenstein Center. The vaccination program was a trial run before the home of the basketball Buckeyes turns into a mass COVID-19 vaccination site for patients and the public. The vaccination program at the Schottenstein Center begins next week (Jan. 19) and will eventually have the capacity to provide more than 3,000 vaccines per day. “The Schottenstein Center offers us a lot of advantages over our other campus locations, so in particular, as we think about moving to the general public and particularly the elderly public, certainly we have ADA accessible facilities here. We have ample parking that’s very close to the site,” said Crystal Tubbs, associate director in the Department of Pharmacy at the medical center. “We will have shuttles running in the parking lot so patients can be picked up and brought to the entrances. We also have an adequate fleet of wheelchairs to help people once they’re inside the Schott to be mobile. And then we really have just a great complement of staff here on site.”
