Vaccine clinics report delays
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
The coronavirus vaccination clinic at Memorial Coliseum remained open Thursday even as shipping delays are forcing other sites to close.
The VA Northern Indiana Health Care System planned to hold a walk-in clinic Saturday in Fort Wayne after rescheduling the initial date because of inclement weather. Now, wintry weather is causing vaccine shipment delays, forcing the veterans agency to cancel the walk-in clinic until doses arrive.
Veterans can still schedule an appointment by calling their primary care team or 1-800-360-8387, ext. 75113.
The Huntington County Health Department is encountering the same problem. Its clinic at Crestview Middle School is closed today and Saturday.
