MADISON, Wis. — Coronavirus testing and vaccine clinics at the Alliant Energy Center will officially be ending June 26, public health officials announced Monday, but those efforts will continue on a smaller scale elsewhere in Madison.
The first test at the site was administered on May 11, 2020, while the first vaccine dose was given on December 29. Since then, about 425,000 coronavirus tests have been conducted and 83,000 doses of the vaccine have been given at the arena.
