Door County Public Health has scheduled three vaccine clinics in the first two weeks of the New Year after reporting some of its largest COVID-19 numbers in several weeks.
Of the 253 tests performed since Monday, 148 of them came back positive for COVID-19. The new positive tests far outpaced the number of recoveries as the number of active cases jumped 127 to 594. Another seven residents were hospitalized with COVID-19, bringing that number to 192 since the beginning of the pandemic. Thirty of those hospitalizations have occurred in the last month. No additional deaths were reported. The number of hospitalizations and deaths announced by the county tends to lag due to the state’s reporting.
Door County Public Health will host a vaccine clinic for kids 5-11 on January 4th at the ADRC building from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. They will also host clinics for people ages 12 and up at the Sister Bay Fire Station on January 6th from 2-5 p.m. and January 13th at the government center in Sturgeon Bay from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. All of the clinics are by appointment only.
