Dozens of local residents utilized the walk-in vaccinations clinic held Friday at the Elizabeth Sugden Broughton Community Building.
Between 170 and 200 people were scheduled for the clinic, which was down from their normal 500 to 700 people, said Josh Lane, director of environmental health and the incident commander for COVID operations for the Washington County Health Department.
He said being able to walk in and get vaccinated has been helpful for people not able to schedule an appointment.

I took the first step this week toward feeling more confident in an eventual return to whatever “normal” is going to look like. I got my first COVID-19 vaccine shot, and an appointment for my second in a few weeks.
From the beginning, getting my place in line filling out an online form way before shots were actually approved for my age group; to the end, when a guy in a yellow rain suit waved at me as I left the parking lot, the experience included only one, quickly remedied hiccup.
Shortly after the date on which Gov. Mike DeWine approved my age group for shots, I received an email from the Washington County Health Department, which gave me the chance to sign up for an appointment. I chose a spot at the Elizabeth Sugden Broughton Community Building.
