Be aware that vaccine shortages remain
Many county health departments are no longer offering first doses of COVID-19 vaccines and are currently administering only second doses to those people at highest risk and whose shots are already scheduled. This is due to the limited supply of vaccine. Please be patient and wait to schedule your own vaccination appointment if you have no underlying health issues or have limited contact with other people. Showing consideration for others will allow your neighbors who may be at higher risk to schedule their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Large-scale mass vaccination clinics in 8 Alabama locations
Eight large-scale mass vaccination clinics start Feb. 8 throughout the state. Clinics are located in Anniston, Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Selma and Tuscaloosa. The goal is for each location to give 1,000 vaccines per day, totaling 40,000 doses administered. Some sites require preregistration, and not all sites may have availability. Additional information about each location is available at alabamapublichealth.gov/covid19vaccine/mass-clinics.html.
We ask you to be patient and thank volunteers
Please be patient as you participate in mass vaccination clinics taking place throughout the state. The vaccination efforts are being supported by volunteers that are working hard to take care of their communities. We ask that you understand that patience is needed as they work to vaccinate thousands of people throughout the week.
