COVID-19 Press Conference LIVE: April 23, 2021
A
I'll
unmute
and
now
speak.
I
have
115
straight
up,
so
we
will
get
going.
I'm
chuck,
carney
director
of
media
relations
for
indiana
university
and
welcome
again
to
our
weekly
news
conference,
discussing
all
things
covet
19
with
the
city
of
bloomington
monroe,
county
indiana
university
and
the
indiana
university
health.
Let's
start,
as
always,
with
opening
remarks
we'll
go.
First
to
mayor
hamilton.
B
Last
friday
in
april,
just
some
quick
data
points
that
I
like
to
share
one
is
we
had
three
employees
test
positive
this
week
as,
as
typically
has
been
the
case,
there's
no
indications
of
being
exposed
at
work
and
doing
all
the
contact
tracing
that
we
should.
That
brings
our
monthly
total
to
seven
for
april,
which
is
roughly
double
the
rate
of
february
and
may
each
as
a
month.
B
Just
to
put
that
in
perspective,
I
also
will
report
we've
now
had
282
employees
who
have
filed
for
the
100
wellness
benefit,
demonstrating
they've
completed
their
vaccinations
plus
two
weeks,
so
we're
pleased
to
see
that
number
continuing
to
go
up,
but
we
still
want
to
see
it
continue
to
rise.
That's
critically
important,
an
update
I
don't
always
give,
but
to
let
you
know
that
the
city
of
bloomington
utilities
is
continuing
its
weekly
sampling
of
the
wastewater
stream.
We've
talked
about
that
at
various
times
in
the
past
year.
B
Just
to
let
you
know
overall-
and
I
know
we'll
hear
that
directly
from
our
experts-
the
numbers
are
not,
I
would
say
dramatically
better
or
worse
in
terms
of
key
indicators
this
week,
I
maybe
we
can
take
that
as
a
victory
in
terms
of
hospitalizations
and
prevalence,
positivity
rate
and
the
number
of
positive
cases
they're
not
dramatically
indicating
which
way
we're
going
yet.
But
let's
maybe
call
that
a
victory
for
a
week
that
it
hasn't
gotten
significantly
worse.
B
Obviously,
the
continued
vaccination
is
the
key
to
this.
Indiana
is
not
in
good
shape
on
that.
I
think
we're
in
the
bottom.
Tier
of
states
in
terms
of
how
many
people
have
been
vaccinated.
I
continue
to
be
very
concerned
about
the
importance
of
making
that
progress
week
to
week
month
to
month-
and
I
know
we'll
hear
about
that
and
thank
everybody
for
how
hard
they're
working
the
incentives.
The
outreach
continue
to
be
important.
B
In
my
view,
I'm
not
sure
if,
if
penny
caught
will
be
talking
about
a
couple
pop-up
clinics
coming
up,
I
understand
that
the
city
and
and
health
department
have
been
working
on
some
that
are
spanish-focused
may
10th
and
june
7th
for
vaccination
clinics
and
then
one
on
may
6th
as
well
that'll
be
at
the
crestmont
boys
and
girls
club
to
try
to
do
some
more
of
these
outreach
with
vaccination
clinics
so
really
appreciate
all
that
people
are
doing.
B
Let's
we
have
to
keep
our
eye
closely
on
the
data
and
continue
to
please
get
those
vaccinations
which
is
how
we're
going
to
get
through
this.
Thanks
back
to
you,
chuck.
C
Good
afternoon
and
yeah
I
was
just
going
to
start
with
kind
of
where
the
the
mayor
left
off.
We
have
two
outreaches,
as
we
have
sort
of
wrapped
up
our
routine
testing
or
testing
our
routine
vaccination
clinic
at
the
convention
center.
We
will
be
there
a
little
longer
for
some
specialty
things,
but
that,
as
a
regular
clinic,
has
closed
and
kind
of
funneling,
all
of
those
appointments
now
to
iu
to
sibley
hall.
C
But
we
do
have
an
upcoming
outreach,
as
the
mayor
mentioned
at
the
boys
and
girls
club,
and
that
is
next
week
on
may
6th.
We
have
volunteers
and
staff
who
are
going
door
to
door
this
weekend
to
encourage
people
to
come
to
that
clinic
to
sign
up,
so
we
can
be
prepared
for
a
full
time
of
vaccinations,
and
then
I
want
to
give
a
huge
thank
you
to
our
community
partners
who
are
serving
the
hispanic
and
latinx
x
community.
C
Our
goal
is
certainly
to
provide
information
answer
questions,
reduce
barriers
like
language,
and
we
have
an
outreach
clinic
that
is
planned.
We've
got
more
communication
that
will
be
coming
out
on
that
as
well,
and
we
could
just
not
have
done
that
without
many
of
our
partners
in
in
that
community
and
service
providers
to
that
community.
So
we're
excited.
C
We
think
that
may
be
the
first
of
several.
Certainly
those
are
not.
You
know
close
to
just
either
one
of
those
groups,
but
we
want
to
do
as
much
outreach
as
we
can,
knowing
that
some
people
have
some
barriers
to
getting
into
the
clinics
and
I'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
moment
as
well,
but
to
talk
about
the
vaccines.
Johnson
johnson
is
back
in
our
rotation,
and
you
know
we
had
talked
earlier
about
the
pause,
but
that
has
been
assessed
and
is
kind
of
back
in
rotation.
C
So
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
that
is
proof
that
the
adverse
reaction
reporting
system
that
is
in
place
works.
That's
what
alerted
officials
to
potential
issues
and
gave
them
the
ability
to
look
at
this
very
quickly
and
assess
the
information.
C
So
women,
younger
than
50,
should
be
aware
of
a
slightly
increased
risk
for
rare,
but
serious
blood
clotting
disorder.
Most
people
we've
talked
about
this
before
develop
these
blood
clots
and
low
levels
of
platelets.
Most
of
them
were
females
18
to
49
years
of
age.
Their
symptoms
began
one
to
two
weeks
after
getting
their
vaccination
with
johnson
and
johnson.
C
The
chance
of
this
occurring
is
extremely
remote,
less
than
one
in
a
million,
but
we
want
people
to
be
aware
of
this
possibility
to
watch
for
symptoms,
especially
if
they
are
in
this
age
group,
but
but
everyone
should
always
be
watching
for
symptoms,
but
seek
medical
attention
right
away.
C
If
you
have
any
of
the
following
symptoms
after
receiving
jnj
vaccine,
severe
persistent
headaches
or
blurred
vision,
shortness
of
b,
breath,
chest
pain,
leg,
swelling,
persistent
abdominal
pain
or
easy,
bruising
and
tiny
blood
spots
under
the
skin
around
the
vaccination
injection
again,
the
risk
of
this
is
extremely
low.
These
are
safe
and
effective
vaccines,
each
and
every
one
of
them,
and
we
encourage
people
to
make
plans
to
get
vaccinated.
C
If
you
have
your
appointment,
convince
somebody
to
go
with
you.
Take
them
with
you,
make
it
easy
buddy
up
and
have
an
appointment.
Take
a
friend
the
indiana
department
of
health
is
doing
family
day
today
at
the
indiana
indianapolis
motor
speedway,
and
I
think
you
can
make
any
day
a
family
day.
Our
vaccination
site
at
both
med
arts,
but
at
iu
assembly
hall
is
pfizer.
If
you
are
16
and
over,
you
are
eligible
to
be
vaccinated
and
you
can
make
it
a
family
family
affair.
C
I
do
want
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information,
I'm
going
to
try
to
share
my
screen
here
as
long
as
that
works.
Well,
you
can
see
that
indiana
well,
maybe
not
perfect,
and
now
I'm
going
to
have
to
see
where
I'm
going
my
computer
is
not
liking.
Me
right,
I
said
I
was
a
little
challenged
on
the
technology
side,
so
we
have
almost
1.9
million
vaccines
people
fully
vaccinated
in
indiana.
C
You
can
look
at
the
the
trends
that
are
going
on.
There
is
a
a
trending
down
of
vaccine
uptake,
so
we
do
again
encourage
people
to
continue
to
make
those
appointments
and
then,
if
you
follow
down
this
is
all
on
the
vaccine.
Dashboard.
You
can
look
at
monroe
county,
so
fully
vaccinated
total
count
is
44
over
44,
almost
45
000
individuals,
and
if
you
want
to
look
at
that
by
population,
you
can
do
that
and
I
want
so.
C
You
can
see
that
over
35
of
our
eligible
population
has
been
fully
vaccinated
at
this
point
again,
not
as
high
as
we
want
it
to
be,
but
we
are
increasing
those.
This
looks
at
the
state,
so
you
can
look
at
the
state
dashboard
again
the
number
of
vaccinations
by
age
group,
and
you
can
see
the
people
who
have
been
eligible
for
vaccine
the
longest
have
the
highest
rates
of
vaccination.
C
C
C
That
is
a
factor
in
this.
In
deciding
about
regulations,
our
cases
per
hundred
thousand
is
a
deciding
factor.
What
our
hospitals
are
seeing
is
a
deciding
factor
as
well
as
those
positivity
rates
what's
happening
around
us.
What
kind
of
variance
all
of
that
goes
into
these
decisions?
It
is
not
just
one
number,
so
the
slow,
slow
change,
while
encouraging
makes
it
a
little
more
difficult
to
look
very
far
ahead,
but
we
do
continue
to
to
do
that.
Our
cases
this
week
per
100
000
were
105..
C
That
was
a
decrease.
We
hope
that
that
will
continue.
But
again
you
know
when
I
am
here
and
I'm
sharing
that
with
you.
My
hope
for
next
week
is
just
that.
It's
always
hope
rides.
If
we
I
mentioned
barriers
earlier
and
if
you
have
an
appointment
and
you
need
a
ride
rides
are
available.
If
you
need
a
ride
to
a
state-sponsored
site
so
locally
again,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
iu
and
assemble
alcohol,
but
you
can
know
that
that
is
a
state
site.
C
C
If
you
are
going
to
another
site,
then
iu
health
has
been
gracious
enough
to
have
a
ride
program
going
on
for
some
time
now
so
rides
are
available.
If
you
need
them,
we
want
to
try
to
reduce
as
many
barriers
as
we
can.
C
C
What
you
can
do
when
you're
fully
vaccinated
and
other
updates
continue
to
come
out.
And
finally,
I
just
have
two
thank
yous
that
I
want
to
give
dr
hiller
from
iu.
They
provided
us.
We
had
a
partnership
with
them
for
a
class
of
students
who
made
phone
calls
to
people
who
had
appointments
at
the
convention
center
to
ensure
that
they
were
fully
registered,
that
they
didn't
have
problems.
They
knew
where
they
were
going
so
with
each
call
that
they
were
made.
Whether
they
reached
an
individual
or
left
a
message,
it
truly
helped
our
clinic.
C
D
Thank
you
chuck.
First
of
all,
the
county's
cares.
Grants
are
coming
to
an
end
today.
This
is
the
final
day
that
people
can
apply
for
these
grants
and
they
are
grants,
not
loans
and
they're
available
to
assist
with
covert
related
non-payroll
expenses
which
have
not
been
covered
through
other
funding
sources,
loans
or
grants.
D
Please
go
to
co.monroe.in.us
for
further
information,
and
also
the
application
is
available
there.
The
township
assistance
fund
is
continuing.
The
board
of
commissioners
has
worked
with
the
county
council
to
develop
a
township
assistance
fund
for
our
township
trustees.
With
this
funding,
the
trustees
can
assist
county
residents
with
basic
necessities
like
rent
and
utilities.
E
Good
afternoon
chuck
thanks
again
for
hosting
us
and
for
everyone
here,
that's
on
the
call
we've
been
doing
our
blood
drives
for
over
a
year,
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
we've
had
a
flood,
a
blood
drive
on
the
same
day
that
we've
had
a
press
call.
So
I'd
like
to
announce
that
we
do
have
some
spots
available
in
our
actual
blood
drive.
That's
going
on
right
now.
So,
if
you're
hearing
this
live
on
facebook
or
here
today,
we
would
encourage
you
to
take
one
of
those
spots.
E
There
are
three
left
for
today
we
have
a
2
15,
a
2
30
and
a
7
p.m.
So,
if
that's
something
that
you
can
fit
into
your
schedule,
we
encourage
our
monroe
county
residents
to
make
that
contribution
of
a
blood
donation.
We
do
have
two
dates
scheduled
in
may
and
they
are
the
24th
and
the
27th.
Of
course,
as
I've
mentioned
in
the
past,
we
have
those
blood
drives
scheduled
out
through
july
and
those
are
on
our
county
website
at
co.
E
So
I'd
like
to
just
to
remind
everybody
that
those
need
to
be
laundered
often-
and
you
can
do
that
by
washing
those
in
the
sink
or
just
with
your
normal
laundry
and
also
if
you
do
need
additional
supplies.
E
We
do
still
have
those
masks
way
back
in
february
march,
I
think
last
year
we
started
handing
those
out
at
all
of
our
trustees
offices
and
all
of
our
fire
departments,
and
just
this
week
I
made
contact
with
all
of
them,
I'm
just
to
assure
that
they
still
have
supplies
readily
available,
and
so
those
lists
are
on
our
our
county
website.
Under
the
emergency
management
page
and
if
you
are
in
fact
in
need
of
additional
supplies,
you
can
make
an
appointment
at
any
of
those
spots
or
by
calling
our
office
at
812-349-2.
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone
great
day
here
in
bloomington
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
our
numbers
of
coven
19
inpatients,
have
remained
stable.
As
the
mayor
was
saying,
we've
not
seen
any
worsening,
but
we've
not
seen
any
improvement
either.
You
see
our
south
central
region
data
here
and
then
we
have
the
monroe
county
data
that
includes
iu
health
bloomington,
as
well
as
monroe
hospital
and
the
data
depicts
the
same
trend,
a
steady
pace
of
coven,
19,
positives
and
inpatients
in
our
facilities.
F
Our
bedford
and
paoli
hospitals
also
continue
to
see
coveted
positive
patients.
They
have
had
a
census
in
their
in
their
hospitals
ongoing
for
the
past
two
weeks,
which
is
highly
unusual
over
this
past
several
months.
So
we
are
concerned
about
those
continued
infected
cases
and
these
individuals,
as
we've
talked
about
before,
are
the
younger
populations,
as
we've
seen
our
older
populations
being
vaccinated
at
high
rates.
F
Last
week
we
shared
a
breakdown
of
those
individuals
that
have
received
the
first
dose
by
age
and
recognizing
the
hard
work
of
our
community,
ensuring
our
younger
populations
get
vaccinated.
It
is
important.
We
continue
this
focus
and
this
fight
against
covid,
as
here
in
monroe
county.
We
need
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
word
out,
but
also
to
our
friends,
our
neighbors
and
our
relatives
across
the
region.
F
So
last
week
I
also
shared
we'd,
be
transitioning
our
clinic
in
may
and
june,
and
to
the
iu,
simon
scott
assembly
hall,
and
that
will
occur.
Our
last
first
vaccine
will
be
may
14th
and
then
mid-june
will
give
our
last
second
dose.
This
allows
us
to
be
able
to
start
moving
more
into
the
community
to
give
vaccines
at
different
sites,
specifically,
as
we
are
hopefully
expecting
the
fda
to
lower
the
age
of
those
who
can
get
vaccines
once
that
occurs
and
we
go
below
16
years
of
age.
F
It
opens
up
the
opportunity
for
us
to
vaccinate
more
individuals,
and
we
can
do
that
in
those
outreach
sites,
schools
and
other
locations,
as
well
as
bring
them
to
our
vaccine
sites.
So
we
will
increase
the
number.
We
continue
to
increase
the
availability
and
number
of
slots
open
in
our
community
and
in
our
county
for
vaccines.
F
Last
friday,
the
cdc
and
the
u.s
food
and
drug
administration
both
recommended
that
j
and
j
covet
19
vaccine
come
back
on
on
the
the
res
resume,
giving
the
vaccine.
The
pause
of
the
j
vaccine
was
just
showing
that
we
do
take
safety
seriously
around
the
vaccines
and
around
the
follow-up
with
these
vaccines
as
well.
So
we
have
across
iu
health
across
the
state
of
indiana,
began,
readministering,
the
vaccine
and
today
actually
being
given
at
the
indianapolis
motor
speedway.
F
F
We
continue
to
ensure
those
at
high
risk,
receive
the
information
and
all
the
follow-up
that
they
require
if
they
are
in
that
risk
age
group,
so
that
we're
careful
with
anyone
who
receives
that
j
j
vaccine.
But,
as
penny
said
earlier,
the
rate
of
complications
or
even
getting
a
dvt
or
thrombosis
is
below
one
in
a
million.
F
So
we
just
make
sure
we
we
follow
up
and
the
vaccine
is
very
safe,
but
we
appreciate
our
fda,
taking
being
overly
precautious
and
taking
the
precautions
and
now
putting
it
back
on
the
list
of
vaccines
that
we
can
give
remember
that
the
best
coven
19
vaccine
is
the
one
you
can
get
and
I
will
take
act.
Take
questions
at
the
end.
A
Okay,
let's
check
in
with
kirk
white
at
indiana
university.
G
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody,
starting
with
the
numbers,
as
director
cody
mentioned
earlier,
we're
staying
pretty
steady
in
the
campus
as
well.
So
our
prevalence
rate
this
past
week
was
level
at
0.3
and
really,
as
we
look
across
different
populations,
we've
seen
either
decreases
in
mitigation
testing
prevalence
or
pretty
much
the
same
as
the
week
before
we've
last
week,
completed
18
000
individuals
were
tested,
and
this
week
we're
up
to
11
000
already
we'll
have.
G
As
the
week
concludes,
that
number
will
get
back
up,
but
I
will
say
that
you
might
see
a
decreasing
trend
in
the
number
of
people
tested
on
the
campus,
because
we're
now
exempting
those
who
have
been
vaccinated
from
regular
weekly
mitigation
testing.
So
this
is
another
good
way
and
an
incentive
that
really
with
following
cdc
guidance,
you
don't
need
to
be
tested
as
regularly
if
you've
been
vaccinated,
because
the
risk
is
much
much
lower.
G
So,
along
those
lines
going
over
to
vaccines,
we're
having
great
success
at
simon
scott
assembly
hall
as
of
last
night,
we're
up
over
22
000
vaccines
administered
since
march,
the
29th,
our
open
site
for
the
public
has
vaccinated
than
almost
9
000
people
and
our
site
that
was
iu.
Community
focused,
has
vaccinated
over
13
000,
so
we're
we're
really
in
great
shape.
There
we're
seeing
a
very
good
second
dose
return
rate,
which
has
been
very
encouraging
as
well.
G
Now,
let
me,
let
me
say,
along
vaccines
again,
simon
scott
assembly,
all
is
running
well,
as
brian
mentioned,
it's
a
great
partnership
between
our
county
health
department
and
bloomington
hospital
iu,
health
and
the
south
central
region.
We
really
want
that
to
be
a
regional
site,
and
next
week
we
have
3100
openings
for
vaccines,
so
go
on
to
the
vaccine,
our
shot.ian.gov
site
or
dial
2-1-1,
get
yourself
an
appointment
and
come
on
over.
G
We've
got
plenty
of
supply
and
plenty
of
openings
and
we'll
be
happy
to
have
you
in
particular,
I'd
encourage
those
in
that
16
and
over
population
to
get
vaccinated
as
soon
as
they
can.
I
was
reading
today
about
some
plans
for
a
prom
over
at
edgewood
and
as
these
end
of
the
school
year,
events
occur
with
high
school,
commencements
and
so
on.
G
Now
is
a
perfect
time
to
get
vaccinated
beforehand
so
that
you
can
enjoy
those
events
in
a
safe
manner
and
protect
your
family
and
your
fellow
classmates
as
well.
So
we
we
do
have
openings
on
the
weekends
as
well.
So,
for
example,
tomorrow
we're
open
from
9
00
a.m
until
3
p.m,
at
at
assembly
hall.
So
there's
plenty
of
time
either
during
the
work
week
or
on
the
weekends
to
come
on
over
and
visit.
G
We're
very
encouraged
about
where
we
are.
This
is
the
last
week
of
regular
classes.
Next
week
is
finals
week.
Commencement
is
the
7th
and
8th
we're
going
to
have
a
a
great
ceremony,
even
though
it's
limited
to
in-person
attendance
by
those
just
graduating
already,
we
have
over
1200
graduates
that
are
are
planning
to
attend
that
are
graduate
students
and
almost
4
500
undergraduates
are
planning
to
attend
the
ceremony
at
memorial
stadium
on
the
7th
and
8th.
So
an
early.
Congratulations.
G
We
look
forward
to
those
plans
continuing.
I
think
today
is
the
last
day
to
sign
up,
because
you
do
need
mitigation
testing
before
you
come
to
the
ceremonies
and
we
have
to
get
that
documented
gets
you
scheduled
and
documented
before
you
get
your
ticket
to
come
to
commencement.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
for
the
questions.
A
H
B
B
We
have
chosen
at
the
city
to
implement
a
an
incentive
plan
with
our
workforce,
as
I've
mentioned
here,
we're
actually
looking
at
whether
we
might
enhance
that
some,
because
I
think
we
do.
We
do
view
incentives
to
encourage
vaccinations
as
a
really
important
signal
on
how
important
these
are
with
a
wellness
benefit.
I
guess
I
think
in
this
platform
I
would
strongly
encourage
employers
or
other
institutions
that
have
large
numbers
of
people
affiliated
with
you
to
really
consider
how
do
you
incentivize
folks,
to
get
vaccinations?
B
I
know
these
are
tricky,
but
it's
it's
absolutely
essential
that
we
keep
those
numbers
going
up
and,
as
we
learned
we're
you
know,
I
don't
think
it
was
mentioned
today,
but
indiana
is
in
not
not
doing
well.
Overall,
we've
got
a
long
way
to
go
and
continuing
to
encourage
and
outreach
is,
of
course
important.
B
I
personally
it's
it's,
it's
incredibly
encouraging
to
hear
from
the
cdc
now
that
I'm
vaccinated
plus
two
weeks
that
I
can
do
some
things
that
I
wasn't
able
to
do
safely
and
it
feels
great
it's
so
it's
so
powerful
to
be
with
people
fully
vaccinated
again
in
the
in
those
protocols
that
we
can
do
so.
That's
important,
but
I
do
I
do
encourage
institutions
to
look
at
those
encouragements
and
and
the
using
the
the
rescue
plan
money
for
overall
resident
incentives.
Fiscally
I'm
not
sure
whether
that's
allowed.
B
We
don't
know
yet,
and
I
don't
know
whether
it
would
be
effective,
but
I
do
think
institution
by
institution.
We
really
ought
to
explore
that
and
I
hope
folks
will
from
from
all
the
all
the
system.
I
know
people
are
thinking
about
and
I
think
that's
really
helpful.
G
Thank
you
chuck.
I
think
I
think
we
just.
We
should
just
remind
everybody
that
the
vaccine
is
is
free.
Yes,
the
the
government
has
paid
for
the
actual
vaccine
vaccine.
The
administration
costs
are
either
handled
by
the
federal
government
or
your
insurance.
If
you
don't
have
insurance,
the
government
picks
it
up,
so
nobody
gets
charged
for
coming,
come
on
over
and
enjoy
the
the
feeling
of
freedom
for.
A
Free
so
next
question
from
david
wolf
bender
at
the
ids
for
penny,
cottle
and
or
brian
shockney.
Last
week
we
discussed
how
the
state
was
asking
sites
to
move
to
a
walk-in
model,
so
no
appointment
would
be
necessary
to
get
appointments
did
sites
in
monroe
county
move
to
this
model
this
week.
What
have
you
been
hearing
from
various
sites
regarding
the
walk-in
model.
C
Certainly
it's
a
good
question.
Appointments
are
still
obviously
ideal,
because
that
allows
for
best
planning.
We
have
been
taking
walk-ins
at
the
other
sites
and
I'll
I'll.
Let
them
talk
about
that
more
directly.
I
think,
even
across
the
state,
a
lot
of
the
other
county
health
departments,
the
numbers
of
walk-ins
so
far
have
been
small,
but
we're
we're
glad
to
take
them
and
again
it's
about
reducing
the
barriers
and
now
I
iu
has
been
working
on
how
we
can
let
people
know
when,
when
it's
open
for
walk-ins,
there
are
just
some
logistical
things.
F
Yes,
walk-ins
are
happening
across
the
state.
As
penny
said,
the
uptake
is
not
as
strong
as
we
had
hoped.
Even
the
mass
vaccinations
by
the
state
are
walk-ins
now
they're,
not
requiring
appointments
and
they're
just
putting
shots
in
arms.
We
did
quickly
pivot
on
our
process
by
which
we
can
get
the
vaccine
thawed
and
ready
for
our
team.
We're
actually
looking
two
hours
prior
to
our
ending
time.
Yet
each
at
our
clinic
site
to
you
know,
stop
walk-ins
at
that
point
and
take
no
more
walk-ins
at
that
point.
F
So
we
don't
waste
any
vaccine,
but
all
the
time
from
big
opening
all
the
way
to
that
two-hour
period
before
we
close
the
vaccine
site
walk-ins
are
most
welcome.
G
Yeah
chuckling
we're
taking
walk-ins
at
assembly
hall
one
hour
after
opening,
and
we
again,
as
brian
mentioned,
we
need
to
stop
two
hours
before
and
that's
really
because
we're
trying
to
conserve
the
vaccine
supply
remember
this
is
a
sensitive
pharmaceutical
that
needs
to
be
prepared
ahead
of
time
and
we've
got
to
use
it
all.
We
can't
just
put
it
back
on
the
shelf
and
use
it
the
next
day.
G
A
So
question
from
mitch
league
in
wtiu
this
will
go
to
penny.
Is
there
a
time
set
for
the
clinic
on
fives
and
has
a
location
been
set
or
chosen
for
these
spanish
language?
Focused
clinics
on
may
10
and
june
7th
or
may
is
that
june
767.
C
So
yes,
the
on
may
6th,
that
is
at
boys
and
girls
club,
it's
12
30
to
5
30.,
the
latin
x
and
hispanic
clinic
will
be
at
the
convention
center
and
that
will
be
moderna
and
so
may
the
first
appointment.
So
I
just
lost
my
train
of
thought
on
the
date
may
10th
thank
you
may
10th
and
so
that
it
will
be
starting
at
noon
and
then
the
second
dose
appointment
will
be
in
june.
A
Okay
and
that's
the
six
seven
date
is
that
right:
okay,
yes,
okay,
happy
to
take
some
more
questions
here,
not
seeing
a
new
one
coming
up,
but
we've
got
a
few
minutes
left
here,
so
we'll
be
glad
to
to
do
that
I'll,
throw
in
the
regular
iu
plug.
If
you
have
questions
about
what's
happening
with
the
iu
vaccinations,
particularly
with
commencement
coming
up,
you
can
go
to
covet.iu.edu.
A
If
you
have
students
who
are
graduating,
make
sure
that
they
get
those
vaccinations.
Are
they
get
those
the
tests
scheduled
if
they're
not
already
fully
vaccinated
and
then
kirk
put
up
the
website?
A
C19Waitlist.Iu.Edu
kirk,
you
want
to
explain
what
what
that
one
is.
G
Well,
yes,
again,
we
do
encourage
those
appointments,
and
so,
in
a
you
know,
an
effort
as
best
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
use
all
the
supply.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you
can
sign
up
for
the
wait
list
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
and
that's
the
website
to
get
to
that.
So
we
encourage
you
to
do
that
as
well.
Make
sure
you
make
sure
you've
got
a
spot
and
really
it's.
We
talked
about
access
and
we've.
G
To
make
it
as
easily
as
possible,
remember
that
it's
on
the
bloomington
transit
bus
lines
and
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
you
can
get
vouchers
for
transportation.
If
you
need
that,
so
we
want
to
reach
out
to
the
region
to
help
everybody
get
vaccinated.
A
This
next
question
from
david
wolf
bender
at
the
ids
again
for
kirk.
Did
I
hear
correctly
that
there
are
3
100
vaccination
appointments
open
for
next
week
at
iu's
site,
he's
wanting
to
verify
that
and
also
will
iu
site
continue
to
vaccinate
the
community
throughout
the
summer
and
into
the
start
of
next
school
year.
G
G
You
can
get
get
an
appointment
at
the
website
or
calling211
and
yes,
we'll
be
continuing
on
through
the
summer
as
a
regional
resource
and
frankly,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
positioned
for
whatever
the
the
pandemic
may
bring
to
us,
and
that
means,
if
we're
going
to
need
to
vaccinate
students
as
they
return
or
what
may
happen
in
the
coming
year,
with
discussion
about
possible
boosters
and
this
type
of
thing.
A
Okay,
I'll
wait
here
a
moment
for
another
question:
here's
mitch
legan
with
one,
does
iu
health
plan
on
requiring
vaccines
for
employees
and,
what's
the
vaccination
rate
for
employees,
if
that's
available,
brian.
F
Yeah
so
iu
health
employees
that,
as
we've
said
before,
the
data
is
hard
to
get
from
the
system,
but
we've
run
some.
Can
we
got
some
data
analysts
who
have
been
working
on
the
state
database
with
ihi,
which
is
a
health
and
information
exchange,
and
we
know
we're
well
above
70
of
our
iu
health
team
members
who
are
vaccinated,
that
we
can
account
for
now.
We
know
that
there
are
others
that
are
vaccinated
in
other
locations
as
far
as
requiring
the
vaccine.
F
F
F
B
B
Getting
vaccines,
of
course,
is
important
for
your
own
health.
It
it
really
changes
what
you
can
do
socially
now
I
mean
the
ability,
I
just
have
to
say
the
ability
to
go
and
have
dinner
with
friends
who
are
all
fully
vaccinated
and
two
weeks
out
is
great
and
important.
The
ability
to
to
to
be
in
places
together
again,
not
in
large
gatherings
but
in
small
gatherings.
It's
a
human
thing
and
it
won't
happen
until
we
get
vaccinated.
It
shouldn't
happen
until
we
get
vaccinated
and
similarly
at
workplaces.
B
You
know
we're
going
to
have
to
be
managing
people
differently
depending
upon
whether
you've
got
everybody
vaccinated
or
not,
and-
and
it's
just
so
important
to
get
that
number
way
up,
and
it
is
so
valuable
to
you
individually
and
to
your
ability
to
do
things
that
you've
been
wanting
to
do
so.
I
I
just
hope-
and
thank
you
brian,
for
sharing
that
number
that's
encouraging.
B
You
know
these
are
healthcare
workers
and
they're
particularly
sensitive
to
the
importance
of
it,
which
is
great
and
a
model
for
for
the
rest
of
us,
but
whether
school
systems
or
public
employment
or
large
private
employers,
we
just
it,
really
makes
a
difference
not
only
to
putting
the
pandemic
back
away
where
we
want
it
to
go,
but
also
in
the
ability
of
yourself
to
just
do
things
that
you've
been
waiting
to
do
so
anyway
enough
for
me,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
it
really
how
important
that
is.
A
G
Chuck
I'll
add
something
to
that:
we're
looking
for
different
incentives
on
the
campus
as
well,
and
our
assistant
dean
of
students
for
fraternity,
sorority
affairs,
leslie
fazon
will
be
at
the
at
the
clock
by
woodburn
hall
today
at
three
o'clock
to
pass
out
cookies
and
stickers
to
those
students
who
have
been
been
vaccinated.
G
It's
just
a
fun
thing
to
do
on
a
sunny
afternoon
and
and
then,
and
