There is no charge for vaccinations, but those attending either by appointment or as walk-ins should bring ID and insurance cards, if they have them. Anyone 16 or over is now eligible to get the vaccination.

As a special bonus, one person who gets vaccinated on Saturday will win two tickets to Eric Church’s Gather Again Tour concert that will be held at the arena on Saturday, March 26, 2022.
