Vaccine By the Numbers In the Madison County Response To COVID-19

Madison County’s COVID-19 response has yielded impressive numbers related to vaccination.

Since December 31, 2020, Madison County Health Department (MCHD) has conducted COVID- 19 vaccination clinics throughout Madison County as well as maintained a Mass Vaccination Site which ended on Saturday, July 3. The community mobile clinics will continue at least through July. At this point, MCHD has begun to reflect on the vaccination process thus far and offers the community a look at some of the key numbers that helped to make these vaccination clinics possible over the past six months.

The following clinic data is only for the vaccination clinics open to the public that were conducted by the Madison County Health Department during the period of December 31, 2020- July 6, 2021. This clinic specific data does not include: closed vaccination clinic sites; vaccines given by hospitals, providers, or community partners in Madison County; residents vaccinated elsewhere; vaccine given at long-term care facilities; or vaccine given at pharmacies or medical offices. This data is intended to highlight the functioning of the Madison County Mass Vaccination Site and the community and school vaccination sites to date. All data is provisional and subject to change.
