GREEN BAY - After a slow start, vaccination efforts are starting to ramp up in Brown County.
Frontline health care workers are getting their shots, some are getting their second, and health care providers are setting up clinics to administer shots for phases 1A and 1B. Brown County also is planning to open a drive-thru vaccination clinic in the Lambeau Field parking area.
