MINOCQUA, WI (WSAU) â A walk-in vaccine clinic at Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua that was scheduled to distribute the single-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine will now issue doses of the Moderna version.
The change was announced Thursday morning by the county health department. Anyone over the age of 18 will be able to walk into the school without an appointment on Saturday, April 24th starting at 10 AM and running until all doses have been administered, or until 2 PM.
The clinic will be open to anyone who hasnât received their first dose of the vaccine. Those who take advantage of the clinic will then be scheduled for a second dose on Saturday, May 22nd.
STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) â The areaâs first no appointment COVID-19 vaccine clinic was held Saturday on the UWSP campus.
The University teamed up with Marshfield Clinic to distribute 1,000 doses of the single-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine, and the event turned out to be pretty popular.
WAOW TV reports residents and students were lined up for hours before the clinic opened. For many, this was their first chance to get the vaccine, as the state only recently opened up eligibility to all over the age of 16. For others, the appeal of the single-shot vaccination was the draw.
âThatâs the key, one and done, donât have to come back for a second dose,â said Wayne Wise, one of those that lined up for the vaccine.
