A Manheim site in North Carolina became a drive-through vaccination clinic that got nearly 1,200 people through the auction lanes in one day last week.
Manheim Statesville provided 20 employees to help with the clinic put on by the Iredell County Health Department. Health officials said one of the county’s biggest challenges isn’t getting enough doses of the vaccine — it’s finding enough space to administer the shots.
“When the Iredell County Health Department approached us about hosting this drive-thru clinic, we immediately wanted to help,” Manheim Statesville General Manager Mandy Savage said in a statement.
Manheim said 1,197 people received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine during the event.
