Missouri town with 65 residents receives nearly 2,000 vaccines for reasons unknown
February 25, 2021
A mass vaccination clinic in Leopold, MO operated on a first-come-first-serve basis yesterday due to overallocation.
By 4:40 p.m. yesterday, 648 people had been vaccinated in a town of only 65. // Image courtesy of leopold.k12.mo.us
Gov. Mike Parson allocated almost 2,000 vaccines for the clinic. The Bollinger County town’s population of 65 did not fulfill that allocation, leading the health department to open the clinic up to anyone who wanted to be vaccinated.
Can t get over this. MO governor allocated almost 2,000 vaccines to be distributed at a pop-up clinic in a town of 65 people. There were over 1,000 left over, so the clinic took to social media, inviting anyone to come get one. https://t.co/eWcgD8b88g
