CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Some people signing up for the COVID-19 vaccine in Montgomery County are still being directed to Civitan Park, despite that the county Health Department moved its vaccination operations to Governor’s Square Mall two weeks ago.

The COVID-19 vaccination and testing site moved to the former Sears Automotive Center at Governor’s Square Mall on Feb. 10, but the state’s registration site is sending some response emails stating that the site is still in Civitan Park, according to a county news release.

The state has been notified about the error message, but the correction is not expected to go into effect until March 9 or later, the release said.

“We felt it was important to share this error as a way to cut down on confusion and help people come to the true location for their vaccination during their scheduled time frame,” said Director of Emergency Services Jimmie Edwards. “We ask that the community help us spread the word about the precise location.”

Vaccinations will also be given at Austin Peay State University beginning Tuesday, March 2, at lot 11, located south of the Ard Building, at Main Street and University Avenue.

The APSU site will provide vaccinations through the same state COVID-19 Vaccination Registration site located at https://vaccinate.tn.gov/ based on the current priority lists. You must be on the registration list to receive a vaccination at the APSU or Health Department site.
