The former Ford Factory in Broadmeadows has been announced as one of three new drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinics.
Premier Daniel Andrews announced the clinic would be “soft launched” this Sunday by invitation only, and would be fully open to the public for booked appointments from Monday, August 23.
Combined, the drive-through clinics will have 36 bays available, and have the capacity for ramping up if needed.
“There are a million things that we miss about life before the pandemic and a million things we’re looking forward to doing again once we’re through this outbreak – each of those is a reason to get vaccinated,” Mr Andrews said.
“We’re imploring every single Victorian to come forward and get vaccinated as soon as you can – there’s appointments available and we need you to fill them.”
Mr Andrews said it was important for Victorians to make use of available vaccines as the state recorded 57 new locally acquired cases of the virus today.
