In a Wednesday conference call with Alabama House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, and Dist. 8 State Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, Community Affairs Director Carolyn Bern and Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) Area 5 Administrator Mary Gomillion gave an update on local rollout of new vaccines over the past month to halt the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.
Gomillion, who works in DeKalb County, said ADPH administered 882 doses this week through Wednesday, including 512 at a Jan. 18 drive-through vaccine clinic at the Northeast Alabama Agri-Business Center. Doses were given to people 75 and older who waited in line, inside the cars, after healthcare workers and first responders were served. Those people will return in four weeks for the second dose. Another 300 appointments were scheduled through Friday.
