DeKALB – The DeKalb County Health Department is offering walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinics starting Thursday.

Melissa Edwards, health promotion and emergency preparedness coordinator, said in a Wednesday email that the county has seen a decline in the number of registration appointments in the last week.

She said the health department is hoping walk-in clinics will allow for more flexibility for those who would like to receive a vaccine. Appointments are still an option for those who want to make sure they have a set time.
