COVID-19: Door County vaccinators make scheduling changes

Changes are happening in how people can schedule and receive their vaccines in Door County. The Door County Health and Human Services Department s online system for people to schedule their COVID-19 vaccinations remains temporarily shut down by the county as of Tuesday because of the inability to use the vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson. Meanwhile, Door County Medical Center announced it will hold smaller vaccination clinics instead of the mass vaccination clinic at the Sturgeon Bay hospital because so many people in the county have received their shots from a variety of sources that the demand is decreasing. The scheduling issue for the county health department arose just a couple weeks after it closed its waiting list for vaccines and launched the online scheduler.

Door, Kewaunee counties affected by loss of Johnson & Johnson vaccine

The loss of the use of the COVID-19 vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson had a temporary effect on vaccination schedules this week for the public health departments in Kewaunee and Door counties. Tuesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services instructed all vaccination providers in the state to stop using the one-dose J&J vaccine, at least temporarily, because reports of severe blood clots as a side effect in a limited number of patients nationwide six cases in more than 6.8 million shots are being investigated by the federal Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Kewaunee County health department had openings Wednesday and Thursday, April 14 and 15, for appointments with its COVID-19 vaccine clinics for anyone ages 16 and older because it had more doses on hand than people on its waiting list and didn t want them to go to waste.

COVID 19 Vaccine Come To Kewaunee County

By Robert Kennedy Jan 14, 2021 10:59 AM KEWAUNEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Kewaunee County has begun administering its first allocation of COVID-19 vaccines this week. Starting Tuesday, health officials began administering its 200 doses of the Pfizer vaccine to those in Phase 1A, which includes healthcare providers, fire, police, EMS and skilled nursing facility residents and staff. “We’ve only received 200 doses of COVID-19 vaccine so far, so we ask for patience. We first need to vaccinate individuals in Phase 1A, like front-line workers before we can vaccinate anyone else,” said Cindy Kinnard, RN, Kewaunee County Public Health Department Director. “We cannot control how many COVID-19 vaccines we receive and when we receive them, but we can reassure you that as we get them, we will continue to administer them and with each vaccine received and given, we’re one vaccination closer to offering them to the general public. In the meantime, please continue washing hands,
