Thousands Get 2nd Dose of Moderna Vaccine at Drive-Thru Clinic in Selma
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
Thousands of people in West Alabama are now more protected against coronavirus after a mass vaccination clinic this week in Selma.
Five thousand people got their second dose of the Moderna vaccine during a three-day drive-thru clinic at Bloch Park.
Vaughan Regional Medical Center coordinated the event.
Health officials say the vaccine is 95% effective at preventing COVID-19.
So they’re urging everyone who’s eligible to get vaccinated.
“Well it’s important,” said Donnell Brown of Oakman in Walker County.
“We need to get cleared of this virus. It’s a scourge on our state and on our country. And so yes, we need to get it.”
