According to a Kadlec release:
Kadlec is following state COVID-19 vaccine distribution guidelines and is committed to the safe and equitable distribution of the vaccine. We are encouraged by the interest in the community to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and encourage everyone to get vaccinated when it’s available to them, as it is a key step in saving lives and ending the pandemic. It is important that the community understand that the number of people eligible to receive the vaccine far exceeds the number of doses of vaccine we have available at this time. It will take time and community partnerships to vaccinate everyone who wants to be vaccinated for COVID-19. We look forward to offering additional community vaccination clinics as vaccine is available.
