FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The Allen County Department of Health will re-open a COVID-19 vaccine site at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum starting on Oct. 18.

Booster shots for the Pfizer vaccine for eligible groups along with first and second doses to anyone 12 and older will be available for free. Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines are not available at the site at this time.
