Now that there are several COVID-19 vaccines to choose from, and they seem to be readily available, more and more people are deciding to go ahead and get the shot(s) - so much so that we're at the point where we need more and more places for folks to get vaccinated. With that in mind, the city of Evansville announced on Monday that they will introduce mobile vaccine clinics starting May 5tth and running through the end of June. This effort comes from a collaboration between the Reopen Evansville Task Force, the Vanderburgh County Health Department, and the Metropolitan Evansville Transit Service (METS).
