RACINE â Hundreds of COVID-19 vaccination appointments have gone unfilled in Racine.
The cityâs health department reports that it transferred 510 doses to other providers because there were so many unfilled appointments at Festival Hall the week of April 12, in addition to 93 cancellations or no-shows that week at the Festival Hall vaccination site. The week prior, there were only 217 cancellations or no shows and zero transfers of doses.

âIn order for us to get control of this (pandemic), we need to be vaccinated,â said Public Health Administrator Dottie-Kay Bowersox.
Bowersox thinks some of that lack of demand should be blamed on the loss of trust in vaccinations after use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was put on pause last week, the result of 6 cases out of 6.8 million vaccinations â less than 1 per 1 million vaccinated â being linked to blood clots in the brain.
