At least three large COVID-19 vaccine clinics have been planned in the central peninsula for the month of January, including two offered by Soldotna Professional Pharmacy and one offered by the Nikiski Fire Department in conjunction with the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management. Vaccine providers throughout the central peninsula have seen a high demand for COVID-19 vaccination appointments, with some booking fully within an hour of going live. The two clinics being offered by Soldotna Professional Pharmacy will take place at Soldotna Prep School on Jan. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at Cooper Landing School on Jan. 30 from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. As of Tuesday at 1 p.m., all appointments at the Soldotna Prep clinic and most appointments at the Cooper Landing clinic had been booked.
