DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) -- Hope mixed with frustration at the first COVID vaccine clinic in Baldwin County. More people want a dose than there are doses to give. All the vaccine slots filled before the plunger went down on the first shot. The line of vehicles piled up outside the Daphne Civic Center before dawn, the long trail of cars can be intimidating. Malcolm Zellner lives nearby. He and his wife came to check out the parking lot and watching the line grow more than a mile long by daybreak.
"I may want to wait another day to try it," he said, counting the weeks until his 75th birthday. The first wave of patients got an appointment card to come back later. It was a huge victory for some.
