The mass vaccination clinic at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds will close after Friday, Feb. 18. The county said demand for the vaccine has fallen off and there are enough other locations offering the vaccine to meet the need.

Under pressure to ease up, Biden weighs new virus response
Facing growing pressure to ease pandemic restrictions, the White House is insisting it is making plans for a less-disruptive phase of the national virus response. But impatient states, including even Democratic New York, made clear on Wednesday that they aren’t waiting for Washington as public frustration grows. New York is lifting its broad masking mandate, though keeping it for schools.
Illinois will soon do the same.
White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said Wednesday that officials have started consultations with state and local leaders all over on next steps.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Americans should still listen to the CDC, which recommends masking in almost all indoor locations.
Sweden ends COVID-19 testing as pandemic restrictions lifted
Sweden has halted wide-scale testing for COVID-19 even among people showing symptoms of an infection, putting an end to the mobile city-square tent sites, drive-in swab centers and home-delivered tests that became ubiquitous during the pandemic and provided essential data for tracking the spread of the coronavirus.
The move puts the Scandinavian nation at odds with most of Europe, but some experts say it could become the norm as costly testing yields fewer benefits with the easily transmissible but milder omicron variant and as governments begin to consider treating COVID-19 like they do other endemic illnesses.
“We have reached a point where the cost and relevance of the testing is no longer justifiable.” Swedish Public Health Agency chief Karin Tegmark Wisell told the national broadcast SVT this week.
