Delaware starts vaccinations at Dover International Speedway

The state of Delaware has begun its largest coronavirus vaccination event to date. The News Journal reports that the inoculation effort kicked off Sunday at Dover International Speedway. The six-day drive-thru clinic represents a possible blueprint for future vaccine distribution. And it will have the capacity to vaccinate 3,000 people a day. The event is being operated by the state government in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Staff conducted a dress rehearsal Saturday night before the event opened at half-capacity on Sunday as a dry run. The event appeared to run smoothly Sunday. The five vaccination stations that were set up rarely had a line of more than a few cars.
