There isn't enough space there unfortunately. The way they have it set up, they funnel cars through the lane closest to Joseph Street so they can fill out a questionnaire the security gives them, then they drive around into the tent, line up, get tested and exit. One lane is used for staff parking. It would fill up way too fast with only 4 lanes if they started doing vaccinations there because they need to take your information, give the injection and then have the "injectee" wait for 15-30 minutes (so if they drove their themselves, they wouldn't have anywhere to park their car and wait). I think it would also really cause traffic issues on the surrounding streets as well.
The better option would be to use something like the Catalyst137 parking lot or a similar large, currently unused location. Set up a few semi-permeant tents and do drive through vaccinations that way, or even open up the building to do them indoors for those who don't drive or who need to sit down (elderly etc).
