The old Marsh Supermarket building on 116th Street, just east of Brooks School Road, had been unoccupied for a long time and was in serious disrepair 3 weeks ago.  Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness gives credit to the city’s staff that went into the building and did badly needed repairs and remodeling, allowing the conversion of the old grocery store into a mass COVID vaccination site.

City officials cut the ribbon to open the site Monday morning as customers with appointments were lining up to receive their vaccinations.  Joining Mayor Fadness was Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston, members of the city council,  Public Health Director Monica Heltz and the city Medical Director Dr. Indy Lane.

Fadness said 300-400 people would receive the COVID vaccine on the new facility’s first day, with the capability to inoculate up to 1,600 people per day once the vaccine is more widely available.
