But the state has clear rules for how clinics should dispense any doses left over at the end of the day.
In St. Joseph County, clinic volunteers are offered the doses first, and if theyâve already been vaccinated or donât want to be, the clinic starts calling people who have asked to be placed on a standby list.

The drive that made S. Prestley Blake and the Friendly’s chain he founded with his brother, Curtis, in the depths of the Great Depression a success didn’t waiver, even in Blake’s final weeks.
“Pres was always in command, right up until the last minute,” his wife of 38 years, Helen, said Friday. “The most dreaded words every morning were ‘I have an idea’.”

“This funding recognizes the front-line role Connecticut hospitals and their dedicated employees have played throughout this pandemic,” Lamont said. “It is not an overstatement to say this role has been heroic and continues to be indispensable as we all work together to defeat the virus.”
