To help make that possible, volunteers like Dr. Peter Loux are stepping up to the plate every day. We have to get our community back and the only way to get our community back is to vaccinate our community, said Dr. Loux.
Dr. Loux retired after a career as an anesthesiologist nearly a decade ago. But when the clinic needed more volunteers for the massive operation, he didn t hesitate to help.

With Alabama’s expansion of vaccine eligibility Monday, more than 1.5 million people are now able to receive the vaccine.
At John Hunt Park, Huntsville Hospital’s Community Vaccination Clinic planned to administer nearly 1,700 doses during the site’s first day handling mass vaccinations.
From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., a seemingly constant stream of appointments walked in and then back out of the doors of the Jaycee Community Building. Even with a goal to vaccinate nearly 2,000 people Monday, many said their entire process lasted about 30 minutes.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Roughly 1,700 people received their COVID-19 vaccine Monday at the mass vaccination clinic at John Hunt Park in Huntsville.
5,000 extra doses were given to the hospital from the Alabama Department of Public Health as part of a statewide initiative to vaccinate as many people as possible.
According to Tracy Doughty the Senior Vice President of Operations at Huntsville Hospital, next Monday the vaccination site will scale back to a much smaller clinic because the state wasn’t able to secure the additional dosage. If you already have an appointment for next week you are still scheduled for your allotted time.

“Good. No wait.”
That was Doris Stevenson’s quick but clear review Monday of Huntsville Hospital’s first day of a weeklong COVID-19 vaccination surge clinic. The Huntsville woman had just left a building at John Hunt Park near south Memorial Parkway where the clinic was being held.
Inside, the hall is divided in halves: vaccination and post-vaccination waiting. The vaccination room has 16 well-marked stations, and there was no waiting shortly after 11 a.m.
