Roughly 400 volunteers were on-site for the event.
Dan Partridge, director at Lawrence Douglas County Public Health, told 41 Action at the beginning of March that no vaccine doses at the drive-thru clinic have gone to waste.
The county’s COVID-19 vaccination plan states that the fairgrounds are available through spring as a mass vaccination site.
