Vaccine demand drops locally, many available appointments

Vaccine demand drops locally, many available appointments April 19, 2021 10:53 PM Site staff Updated: 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.

Mayo Clinic doctors discuss COVID-19 vaccines for children; Breastfeeding passes on vaccine antibodies

 Mayo Clinic pediatric experts met on Wednesday, April 14, to discuss some questions that parents have surrounding COVID-19 vaccines for children under the age of 16. Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, pediatric infectious diseases expert at Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Joseph Poterucha, pediatric critical care specialist at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, led the discussion. If children tend to be less likely to develop severe illnesses from COVID-19, why do we need to vaccinate them? “While there have been relatively few, as compared to adults than children, who have needed to be hospitalized or who have died from this infection, there have been children who have died, over 300 in this country alone,” Rajapakse said.
