Flu shots offer test drive of local vaccine plan

NORTH BEND — A group of public health staff and volunteers had flu shots in hand in the Pony Village Mall parking lot Friday — but they also had another vaccine in mind.
“For us, this is going to be kind of a practice run through for potential COVID vaccination,” said Anthony Arton, the public health director for Coos Health & Wellness.
Arton, who’s been on the job since October, was leading a drive-thru vaccination event, delivering free flu shots to anyone who passed through. But the team was also practicing for the possibility that, a few months from now, supplies of a COVID-19 vaccine will be much higher than they are now.
