The race to distribute and receive COVID-19 vaccines has left many providers frustrated and citizens confused, while some distribution sites are hitting their stride.
Last week those in the first group to be vaccinated – first responders and individuals ages 75 and above, spent the night in cars parked across from the Daphne Civic Center in an effort to be first in line when the que opened the next morning. When traffic became heavy during the clinic, some frustrated attendees threatened to injure Daphne officers managing the flow.
At Infirmary Health Clinics in Fairhope and Bay Minette the lengthy wait is at home where patients wait in a phone que to book an appointment.

A vaccination clinic in Daphne Tuesday distributed 400 doses of the Moderna vaccine, the first event of its kind in Baldwin County.
The clinic, which was overseen by the Alabama Department of Public Health, will restart Thursday with double the amount of doses.
Jenni Guerry, spokeswoman with the Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency, said people attending the vaccine clinic at the Daphne Civic Center get a reservation card in person before they can receive the vaccine. She said reservation cards will be available on site at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. The cards will provide details on when someone can return for their shot.
