Lauderdale County kicked off its mass coronavirus vaccination drive-thru clinic on Wednesday and gave doses to almost 300 people. It was very, very convenient and I appreciate it so much. I would have had to go to my doctor s office and waited, and waited. This way, I just drove through, said Martha Orick, who got her shot at the drive-thru clinic on Wednesday.
Lauderdale County Emergency Management and the North Alabama Medical Center partnered up to make this clinic with mobile vaccination units happen.

Lauderdale County Emergency Management will start to give out coronavirus vaccines this week with the help of two mobile vaccination units at their drive-thru clinics.
Cornerstone Church of Christ is one of the vaccine locations. It s off of Highway 20 in Florence and will be a drive-thru clinic. The other clinic will be this Friday at Joe Wheeler State Park. Each of the trailers will hold 300 doses of vaccine. You don t have to worry with making appointments, you do not have to worry about getting out at a doctor s facility or things like that. You will not have to leave your car. You just drive through. Get your shot. Stay in your car and then you will be free to leave, said project manager, Mike Melton.
