EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - After nearly five months with coronavirus vaccines, local health officials tell us new appointments are slowing down.
Itâs a national trend that is leaving vaccine clinics with open appointments at the end of the day.
While there are hundreds of shots going into arms in Vanderburgh County every day, the supply could start to outweigh the demand.
Deaconess Health System has the capacity to vaccinate more than 1,500 people per day, but Pharmacy Service Line Manager Brian Spencer says thatâs not happening.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (WFIE) - Officials with Owensboro Health announced scheduling new COVID-19 vaccination appointments is now on hold until the vaccine allocation from the state goes up.
This comes as residents in the Tri-State worry there will not be enough vaccine to get their first, or even second, dose.
Officials with Owensboro Health say for patients who already have an appointment or those ready for a second dose of a vaccine, those doses are already accounted for. Those patients should not worry about their appointments being canceled.
