For months, the Allentown Health Bureau’s call list for leftover COVID-19 vaccines was filled with people praying they’d get a call about a last-minute extra dose.
These folks were so desperate to get a scarce, life-saving vaccine, nearly a year into the pandemic, they’d drop everything and book it to the Allentown Fairgrounds with zero notice.
There’s no one left on the call list almost two weeks after Pennsylvania opened up vaccine appointments to anyone 16 or older. So, with two precious doses about to go to waste Thursday night, health bureau staff rushed to the adjacent Allentown Farmers’ Market.
