Ketchikan plans mass vaccination clinics starting next week Here s how to sign up

Ketchikan’s emergency operations center announced three clinics to be held in the coming weeks. Some 1,500 appointments were posted Tuesday. That’s enough to vaccinate more than 10% of the borough’s total population. About a third of the community has received at least one shot so far. The head of local pandemic response, Abner Hoage, said a donation from the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium made the clinic possible. He said it’s something of a turning point in the vaccine distribution effort. “As of last Thursday, when SEARHC called me that’s the first time that we really had an allocation that we felt like we were starting to become unconstrained on our vaccine distribution,” Hoage told KRBD.

With federal deadline extended, Ketchikan City Council to consider allocating more to local relief programs

With federal deadline extended, Ketchikan City Council to consider allocating more to local relief programs Posted by Eric Stone | Jan 6, 2021 Ketchikan’s Ted Ferry Civic Center. (KRBD) Ketchikan’s City Council is set to consider allocating more federal COVID relief funds to local programs. That’s after federal lawmakers extended the deadline to spend the aid money until the end of the year. Now, the question is how much to spend on government services and how much to allocate to city residents struggling financially amidst the pandemic.   During budget deliberations, Ketchikan city officials told council members that they needed to find $1.5 million to fill a projected shortfall in the city budget. That’s because officials aren’t sure what the 2021 cruise season will look like. The city depends on sales tax and port fee revenue from cruise tourists to pay for services.
