ST. CLAIR CO., Ala. (WBRC) - Some rural areas continue to trail the state in vaccinations. Medical leaders in St. Clair County say the efforts are slowed because they didnât get a lot of doses upfront.
The vaccination process is down to a science at Odenville Drugs. Leaders have a contract to provide vaccines for city and county workers and usually conduct mass vaccinations for the county, including vaccinations for the hundreds of inmates in the St. Clair County prison.

ALTON With the presidential inauguration happening on Wednesday, some are concerned that a protest similar to what happened at Washington D.C. could happen in Alton.
Alton Mayor Brant Walker said that, so far, the office has not received any direct threats regarding the inauguration. But he noted police will be more vigilant this week.
“Since I’ve been in office, Alton has always peacefully expressed their opinions,” Walker said. “So I’m hoping that is what we will expect come inauguration day.”
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday activated 250 members of the Illinois National Guard for state buildings in Springfield in response to warnings issued this week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding threats to state capital cities in the days leading up to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
