MILAN, Ill — The Camden Center's vaccination clinic faced an unexpected drop in scheduled vaccination appointments Monday, March 15.
Administrator, Nita Ludwig noticed the mass amount of unfilled appointment times after reviewing the schedule.
"We’re really encouraging everybody that wants to be vaccinated this week to go to that link on our Facebook page and Rock Island Health Department website and get yourself an appointment, it is a pretty easy process," said Ludwig.
Workers at the site blame the decrease on a one-time scheduling issue, not a drop in interest.
The National Guard will continue to work with the Camden Center in order to keep distribution numbers up.
Fewer appointments helped clear up room for those who were previously unable to find a spot.
For people like Kimberly Vellenga, receiving the vaccination was a relief.
"It took no time at all. We pulled up out front, came in got my shot immediately. I didn't feel a thing and my arm still feels fine," she said.
