State health officer doctor scott harris said today that around half to two thirds of all adults in alabama will be eligible for the vaccine on monday.

All adults could become eligible for the vaccine in a few weeks though.

Harris said today that alabama will follow president joe biden's request for the country and open up eligibility to all adults on may 1st.

He says though that it could be much earlier than may.

I say that in the context of talking about these clinics.

This current schedule for national guard clinics is going to take 6 weeks to complete.

It's three weeks around the first time and three weeks again the second time.

There's a really very good chance that eligibility is gonna be expanded before we get done even with those first rotations.

Now in north alabama you can get your vaccine at multiple locations including select walmarts and cvs pharmacies and the john hunt park vaccine clinic in madison county.
