Several doses of the Pfizer vaccine could go to waste if Door County Public Health is unable to fill its COVID-19 vaccination appointments this week. Approximately 60 appointments still remain for its vaccination clinic on Wednesday and the vaccines themselves need to be administered by Friday before they spoil. The department would typically call people on their waiting list to administer doses on Thursday and Friday if they are unable to make the Wednesday clinic. That has been a rarity for the Door County Public Health Department, which has seen only two doses go unused previously. Door County Health and Human Services Director Joe Krebsbach says their team has been working hard to make sure every dose gets used.
Door County Public Health is also planning a COVID-19 clinic for Sister Bay on April 29th. People interested in getting vaccinated can click on the link here. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the seven-day average of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered has been dropping since reaching a high of over 63,000 on April 11th.
