Kroger says it plans to distribute 3,000 vaccines there weekly.
The Wilmington Air Park is located at 1113 Airport Road, Wilmington — about an hour outside of Cincinnati.
Rich Corrado, president and chief executive officer of Air Transport Services Group, says, “ATSG is proud to have worked with our local authorities, Kroger, the State of Ohio, and Governor Mike DeWine’s office to secure the location of the mass vaccination site at the Wilmington Air Park. Having this location in the Wilmington community provides convenient access to our employees, their families, and the surrounding rural area where traveling to an urban location may make it difficult for them to schedule and get the vaccine."
Starting March 29, the COVID vaccine will open up to all Ohio residents ages 16 and older.
