A woman gets a COVID vaccine at a drive-through Franklin County clinic.

The Celeste Center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds will become a drive-through COVID vaccine site once again.

The center opens at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Appointments are encouraged but not required.

Columbus Public Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts said the center is another way to vaccinate as many people as possible.

First doses, second doses, booster shots, doses for children, and flu shots will be available at the site.

The Celeste Center location has previously been used as both a COVID testing site and to provide COVID vaccines.
