AUBURN — After donating their time and talents for the past 4 1/2 months, DeKalb County’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic supporting staff were commemorated and celebrated during a dinner Tuesday evening.
AUBURN â Around 4 p.m. Thursday, DeKalb Countyâs COVID-19 vaccination clinic injected the last of more than 16,500 shots it has given to local residents.
Since it opened Jan. 13, the clinic at Middaugh Hall on the DeKalb County Fairgrounds has inoculated some 8,500 people against the coronavirus with two shots apiece.
âWe feel good about that,â said Cheryl Lynch, RN, the county Health Department administrator who oversaw the clinic operations.
After peaking around 300 shots a day this winter, the Middaugh Hall clinic gave fewer than 200 shots per day in its final few days. Only around 50 people trickled in on the last day.
