Updated Opening Date and Hours of Operation:
The opening of the COVID-19 Vaccination Center at Dover International Speedway has been delayed by one day due to inclement weather in other parts of the country. This weather is affecting travel for federal personnel over the next several days.
The site will now open (for second vaccinations only) on Sunday February 21, 2021. Vaccinations will occur between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day, scheduled in 15-minute increments. Initially, DPH will schedule appointments for the first 5 days (Feb. 21-25) and will open the sixth day as needed.
