(Michigan City, IN) - A new COVID-19 vaccination clinic is opening in Michigan City.  The clinic will be at the Pentecostal Temple Church of God and Christ at 2722 Wabash Street on June 9-12.  The clinic will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

La Porte County Commissioner Joe Haney said the idea is to boost the vaccination rate in

Michigan City which has a slightly lower rate than the countywide average of about 45-percent.  People will be able to choose between the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires just one shot to be fully vaccinated, or the Pfizer vaccine.

Haney said the clinic will reopen to give people receiving the Pfizer vaccine their second dose needed to be fully vaccinated.  The Pfizer vaccine is also available to children ages 12 to 17.
