The Door County Public Health Department is feeling confident it will be able to keep up with the demand for second doses of the COVID-19 vaccinations. Its most recent allotment of Pfizer vaccines stands at 200 first and 120 second doses. Health department officials are already whittling down the over 1,200-person waiting list for the first doses of the vaccine. Door County Health and Human Services Director Joe Krebsbach says with an expected 20 percent increase in the number of doses the state is receiving, he believes things are moving in the right direction.

Last week, Door County Public Health was forced to cancel all of its first dose appointments due to uncertainty in the vaccine supply. Appointments for second doses are still on as scheduled. Krebsbach added that the department will contact you when your time has come and there will be no appointment scheduling until they are able to work through their waitlist. Door County Public Health has administered 916 vaccinations since they started. In total, 3,979 residents in Door County and 2,536 in Kewaunee Counties have been vaccinated for COVID-19.
