Working adults, high school students and other northwest Georgia residents who want a COVID-19 vaccine now have an evening option. The Catoosa-Dade-Walker Vaccination Station at the Colonnade will open from 4-8 p.m. on Friday.
There are 900 appointments now available for Friday’s vaccination event at the Colonnade, 264 Catoosa Cir., in Ringgold. The new date was added just hours after the Vaccination Station launched this week with several thousand COVID-19 vaccination appointments for Wednesday and Thursday.
The Pfizer vaccine, which will be given at the Vaccination Station on Friday, is approved for people 16 years of age and older under the Emergency Use Authorization issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Children ages 16 and 17 who book an appointment at the Vaccination Station must be accompanied by an adult authorized to sign their vaccine consent form.

The Catoosa-Dade-Walker Vaccination Station at the Colonnade is a partnership between Catoosa, Dade and Walker Counties to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines in northwest Georgia. The three counties combined resources to offer safe, fast and free protection against the coronavirus with a regional drive-through vaccination site. Vaccination remains the most effective tool available for getting families, communities, schools and workplaces “back to normal” sooner, said officials.
