For one beautiful week, Alabama’s drive-thru vaccine clinics operated so smoothly, you’d think they also offered waffle-cut fries.
“People were commenting that we had a Chick-Fil-A type process,” said Maegan Austin, spokeswoman for Vaughan Regional Medical Center, which ran a drive-thru clinic in Selma that gave out its entire allotment of 5,000 vaccine doses in less than three days.
As of Friday, February 12, 11.1 percent of all vaccinations in the state went to Black Alabamians.

Roughly 1.5 million Alabamians are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but making an appointment and getting a vaccine can be a daunting task.
There are more places offering the vaccine than ever, but supplies are still limited and not all the places on the Alabama Department of Public Health’s list of vaccine providers have doses to give. None has enough to go around.
