There s a way to get vaccinated fast, though.
Patients often miss their appointments and providers are able to pull more vaccine than planned out of vials, leaving leftover doses that need to be used before they expire. Luckily, each vaccine provider in Knox County has been able to give the extra shots to someone nearby, and not a single dose has gone to waste because an arm wasn t available.
Some do that by using standby lists.
Here are all the places in Knox County with leftover lists and how to add your name to each one. Remember to call a provider if you no longer need an appointment so others can get vaccinated.
