A sign points to LMH Health s drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination center on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020.
Douglas County’s health department has been administering COVID-19 vaccines to about 280 people a day during its weekday clinics at LMH Health, according to data from Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health.
Of those roughly 280 people per day, around 63 are receiving their first COVID-19 vaccine dose, while the others are receiving their second doses, health department spokesperson George Diepenbrock said.
Residents do not need an appointment to show up at the vaccine clinics at LMH Health, which typically run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Diepenbrock said about 40 people come each day without making an appointment first and that most of them are seeking their first doses, “which we are happy with at this point.”
