LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse will host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Mathy Club on the Viterbo University campus.
The free clinics, which started earlier this month at the Erickson Club location, are run through a partnership with Mayo Clinic Health System.
The clinic starts at 2 p.m. Thursday and May 6th.
The clinic will be open to walk-ins.
“Our supply is greater now than it has been over the past couple of months and rather than not give doses. We’d rather give those doses on a walk-in basis,” said Mayo Clinic Health System nurse administrator Ben Anderson.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – Gundersen Health System will begin administering a limited supply of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine again next week.
Federal health officials lifted a 10-day pause on the J&J vaccine Friday after investigating about a dozen reports of rare blood clots.
The vaccine will now include extra labeling.
Gundersen’s vaccine expert says it’s important to keep the numbers in perspective.
There’s been more than 8 million doses of the vaccine successfully administered without any reported problems.

On some days, 35-year-old Tyler Lamb feels hopeful.
“I’m doing OK, you know,” Tyler said. “I got pretty good spirits.”
On others, he feels hope less.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT)- Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse has a few hundred slots available this week if you’re still looking to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Mayo’s La Crosse campus has more than 250 appointments left this week and they’re expected to receive another 400 doses of the vaccine next week.
There are also openings in Prairie du Chien, Arcadia, and Sparta.
They’re administering mostly the Pfizer vaccine so they encourage anyone 16 and older to get the shot.
“Our assumption is we are through a lot of the early adapters, those that were really eager to get the vaccine and now we’re on to those who are a little more hesitant to get the vaccine for whatever reason,” said Mayo Nurse Administrator Ben Anderson.
Shots are available to non-Mayo patients, but appointments are required.
