It s disappointing, Melanie Hutton said. We have to use up what resources we have.
Hutton said 25 to 50 people an hour were no shows at Cooper County s mass vaccination clinic on Monday and Tuesday. The county scheduled 2,000 appointments between Monday and Tuesday. By the end of both days, 330 doses of Pfizer and Moderna were still unused. By delaying and choosing that one dose of vaccine versus the two dose series, you re delaying your immunity, and you re delaying your ability to help the overall community, Hutton said.
Cooper County decided Wednesday to have a third clinic day on Friday at the health department so the extra do not go to waste. The clinic is already booked with appointments from the state s survey list.Â
