PITTSBURG, Kan. — The Crawford County Health Department held its first drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Wednesday, marking the first major local effort to get the vaccine out to more of the general public since Kansas entered Phase 2 of its distribution. The clinic, held in the parking lot of the health department’s building, was by appointment only and for those ages 65 and older. “Because the vaccine is so scarce, we have to do it by appointment,” said the clinic’s incident commander and health department consultant Janis Goedeke.
