OPPORTUNITIES ARE POPPING UP TO
GET A COVID VACCINE ARE YOU
HEALTH AND THE MARIN COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT TEAMED UP
WITH LOCAL CHURCHES THIS
WEEKEND FOR SEVERAL MASS
VACCINATION CLINICS. >> WE
FOUND IT IN OUR PEOPLE OF COLOR
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE VACCINE
OPERATIONS WERE MUCH LOWER THAN
OUR MAJORITY POPULATION HERE
AND SO WE FELT IT WAS SO
CRITICAL TO BE ABLE TO BRING
VACCINATION TO THE HEART
HARDEST TO REACH POPULATIONS
AND BRING IT IN THEIR OWN
COMMUNITY BECAUSE SOMETIMES,
YOU KNOW, TRANSPORTATION
BARRIERS OR CAN PREVENT ACCESS
AND ALSO YOU WANT TO BECAUSE
THE VACCINE HESITANCY BEING IN
AN ENVIRONMENT WITH TRUSTED
COMMUNITY LEADERS HELPING
PROVIDE THE SUPPORT AND
COMMUNITY OUTREACH EDUCATION
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND
BENEFIT OF THE VACCINES. THIS
CLINIC IN LIGHT OF THE WORLD
CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS RETURNING
TODAY IT'LL BE OPEN FROM TWO TO
FOUR. THEY'RE OFFERING THE
FIZER VACCINE TO PEOPLE 16 AND
OLDER. YOU DO NEED TO REGISTER
THOUGH AHEAD OF TIME. THE NEXT
WAVE OF VACCINES FOR YOUNGER
AMERICANS COULD BE CLOSER THAN
WE THINK. PFIZER JUST ASKED THE
FDA TO GIVE ITS VACCINE
EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION FOR
PEOPLE 12 TO 15 AND PARENTS SAY
THEY ARE CAUTIOUS, HIGHLY
OPTIMISTIC. >> I DON'T WANT IT
TO MOVE FASTER THAN IS
REASONABLY SAFE. THAT'S THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING. IT'S BEEN
MOVING QUICKLY ANYWAY. SO I
PRESUME IT'S GOING TO MOVE
ACCORDING TO PLAN AND I WOULD
HOPE MAYBE BY THE SUMMER
OF MAYBE THE BEGINNING
OF SCHOOL YEAR THEN THEY'LL BE
VACCINATED. >> PFIZER SAYS ITS
VACCINE TRIALS WERE 100 PERCENT
EFFECTIVE AND SAFE FOR KIDS 12
TO 15. >> THE FDA'S REVIEW
PROCESS WILL LIKELY TAKE A FEW
WEEKS. >> DUKE UNIVERSITY IS
NOW REQUIRING ALL OF ITS
STUDENTS TO GET A VACCINE
BEFORE ENROLLING FOR FALL
SEMESTER AND THEY'RE NOT ALONE.
NOTRE DAME UP IN SOUTH BEND
ANNOUNCED A SIMILAR MOVE LAST
WEEK BEFORE OPENING A VACCINE
CLINIC FOR STUDENTS. >> BUTLER
IS ALSO CONSIDERING VACCINATION
REQUIREMENTS BEFORE THE FALL
SEMESTER STARTS THERE. >>
HERE'S A LOOK NOW AT INDIANA'S
VACCINATION RATES. SO FAR OUR
STATE HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN
THREE POINT THREE MILLION DOSES
AND MORE THAN ONE POINT THREE
MILLION ARE FULLY VACCINATED
RIGHT NOW ANYBODY 16 AND OLDER
CAN SIGN UP FOR AN APPOINTMENT
AS A WHOLE. MORE THAN 68
MILLION AMERICANS HAVE BEEN
FULLY VACCINATED BUT THERE ARE
SOME NEW CONCERNS OVER A
SHORTAGE OF THE JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON DOSES WHICH SEVERAL
CLINICS HERE IN INDIANA ARE
USING. EMILY LONGNECKER JOINS
US LIVE THIS MORNING WITH MORE
ON A CLINIC HAPPENING TODAY. IT
JUST STARTED A FEW MINUTES AGO,
RIGHT, EMILY? YEAH, RIGHT.
THAT'S AND WE'RE NOT WORRIED
ABOUT A SHORTAGE HERE. CHECK IT
OUT. MORE THAN A THOUSAND
HOOSIERS THIS IS THE BEGINNING
OF THE DAY MORE THAN A THOUSAND
THOUGH EXPECTED THROUGH HERE AT
THIS POP UP CLINIC IN CARMEL AT
WEST PARK TODAY TO GET THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON VACCINE ONE
AND DONE. THAT'S THE BEAUTY
OF IT FOR THESE FOLKS. ONE DONE
.WE'RE JOINED RIGHT NOW BY
CHRISTIAN WALKER WITH THE
HAMILTON COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE. ALL SET UP,
READY GO. WE'RE GOING YOU KNOW,
STOP NO OPERATION WITHOUT ITS
HICCUPS AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE
SEEING A LOT OF EAGER PEOPLE
WHICH IS A GREAT THING FOR US
AND WE'LL START CHURNING FOLKS
OUT HERE AND I THINK WE'VE
TALKED EARLIER ABOUT WE'RE
GOING TO BE DOING 21 PEOPLE
EVERY 10 MINUTES AT THIS SITE
FOR NINE HOURS TODAY. SO THAT'S
PRETTY FAST. I MEAN YOU'VE GOT
SEVERAL STATIONS IN THERE SET
UP, RIGHT? HOW MANY? THAT'S
CORRECT. WE HAVE TWENTY
STATIONS SET UP AND THEN WE
HAVE ABOUT 40 PLACES FOR PEOPLE
TO SIT FOR THEIR 15 MINUTE
OBSERVATION PERIOD AFTERWARDS.
AND SO THESE FOLKS WERE ALREADY
REGISTERED AND SIGNED UP.
RIGHT. SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TO
SPEND TIME DOING THAT. THAT'S
CORRECT. WE ARE PREREGISTERED
EVERYONE FOR TODAY'S EVENT AND
I BELIEVE WE FILLED UP IN TWO
DAYS IN LESS THAN TWO DAYS
ACTUALLY. AND SO THEY'RE
GETTING THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
VACCINE. THAT'S CORRECT. WE'VE
HEARD THAT YOU KNOW, THERE'S
EXPECTED TO BE SHORTAGES IN THE
COMING WEEKS BUT THAT THAT
DIDN'T FACTOR INTO THIS
SITUATION, DID IT? NO, WE KNEW
THAT WE KNEW WE HAD OUR
VACCINE, THAT WE HAD OUR
ALLOTMENT IN HAND BEFORE WE
OPENED UP OUR WEBSITE FOR
REGISTRATION SO WE KNEW WHAT WE
WOULD HAVE. SO THERE WOULD BE
NO HICCUPS TODAY AS FAR AS
THAT'S CONCERNED. HOW ARE WE
GOING TO DO MORE OF THESE POP
UP CLINICS? I MEAN WE HOPE
YOU'RE RIGHT. WE HOPE SO. IT'LL
ALL DEPEND ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEMAND IS
HIGH. SO AS LONG WE'VE GOT THE
DEMAND WILL CONTINUE TO DO
THESE TYPES OF EVENTS WHEN THE
VACCINE BECOMES AVAILABLE.
RIGHT. SEAN WALKER, THANKS SO
MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. WE
APPRECIATE IT. GOOD LUCK TODAY
IN THIS EFFORT. OK, YES. WE
KNOW SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOSES OF THE JMJ VACCINE ARE
EXPECTED TO GO OUT TO THE
STATES NEXT WEEK. THAT'S QUITE
A SIGNIFICANT SLOWDOWN FROM THE
NUMBER OF DOSES THAT WE'VE SEEN
BEFORE IN PREVIOUS WEEKS. BUT
LIKE YOU HEARD CHRISTIAN SAY,
THAT IS NOT AFFECTING TODAY'S
POP UP CLINIC HERE AT WEST
PARK. WE'VE GOT MORE THAN A
THOUSAND HOOSIERS COMING
THROUGH THE DOORS HERE TODAY TO
GET THAT JMJ VACCINE DOESN'T
SEND IT RIGHT. YOU SEE YOU SEE
WHAT THAT IMPACT IS LIKE IN THE
DAYS AND WEEKS AHEAD IN INDIANA
AND THE REST OF THE STATES HERE
IN THE U.S. EMILY, THANK YOU.
THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER MASS
VACCINATION CLINICS PLANNED FOR
OUR AREA. THE INDIANAPOLIS
MOTOR SPEEDWAY IS HOSTING ITS
SECOND MULTIDAY CLINIC STARTING
