Despite supply issues for both Door County Public Health and Door County Medical Center, Door County is among the state leaders when it comes to getting its population vaccinated.

Over 17 percent of the county’s residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and approximately six percent have completed the series. That compares to approximately 10 percent in Kewaunee County getting at least one of the two doses and about four percent completing the series. Approximately 11 percent of the state has received at least one dose.

The numbers come as Door County Medical Center announced on Friday it was only receiving 100 first doses of the Moderna vaccine, which was far below what they expected.  The hospital has begun contacting those who are affected by the vaccine shortage. Door County Public Health has experienced similar shortages with the Pfizer vaccine and has implemented similar practices. Door County Medical Center President and CEO Brian Stephens says it all comes down to the supply the state receives.

Despite the shortage, those scheduled for their second dose are not affected. It was also announced this week that approximately 178 Wisconsin Walgreens locations, including one in Sturgeon Bay, will receive an allotment of COVID-19 vaccines through the Federal Retail Pharmacy program.
