Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is being offered without an appointment at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta for anyone age 16 and above, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Fulton County offered the vaccine without an appointment Monday and Tuesday. The vaccine is free, with no insurance required. Parking is free, and no ID is required.

The vaccine offering comes while the U.S. is pausing the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after reported cases of blood clots and illnesses.
