COVID vaccine increasingly available without appointments
April 22, 2021 GMT
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Kansas counties are increasingly allowing people to walk in to get a coronavirus vaccine without an appointment as interest wanes.
In the Lawrence area, mass vaccination clinics at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, which had been immunizing almost 700 people per hour at their peak, are coming to an end next week. They will be replaced next month with five-day-per-week drive-thru clinics that will deliver 200 to 300 vaccinations per day to people at Lawrence Memorial Hospital without being scheduled in advance, the Lawrence Journal-World reports.
“We’re seeing that supply is now outpacing demand in Douglas County,” said Brian Bradfield, associate vice president of ancillary services for LMH Health.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. Now that all Oregonians over the age of 16 are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine starting this Monday, health officials in Douglas and Coos counties are doing everything they can to adapt to the change.
Officials from both counties said they are more than enough shots to give to those who want it.
Douglas County public health officer Bob Dannenhoffer said they received 3,100 doses of the Moderna vaccine this week, which is close to what they get on average.
