Saturday s torrential rains did not stop people from coming out to the COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic in Macomb.
Ben Thompson, Emergency Response Coordinator for the McDonough and Schuyler County Health Departments, said they inoculated more than 400 people.
“Today (Saturday) has gone really smooth. Other than the rain, which I think has deterred some people, it’s been going great,” Thompson said.
The clinic was open to people who live and/or work in McDonough and Schuyler counties.
They received the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Thompson said they had enough vaccines for up to 500 people. He said the leftovers will be stored in a refrigerator and used either during regular vaccination clinics at McDonough District Hospital’s Health Services Building 1 or during another mass clinic.

LONDON, ONT. A massive new development that will help fill the city’s housing affordability gap is taking shape in London’s SoHo neigbourhood. London city council has approved the sale of the remaining former Victoria Hospital Lands on South Street to a newly formed group of non-profit housing developers called Vision SoHo Alliance. Just over 2.5 hectares on the north side of South Street will be transformed into a mixed-use housing complex. More than 600 units in total will include 300 at affordable rates, the remainder at market rates. Affordable housing is not what it used to be said Greg Playford, of the London Community Foundation’s Housing Action Committee.
