Holt County Health Dept mass vaccination clinic will be rescheduled. Once all plans are finalized, dates and location will be provided. The only way to sign up for this mass event is through the Vaccine Navigator website at: https://covidvaccine.mo.gov/navigator/ or call 877-435-8411 for help with registering.
The State of Missouri reports that the registration will not work for small local events in Atchison County. “This was very upsetting to us,” said Julie Livengood, Atchison County Health Center Administrator. “We were under the understanding that we could use it locally and that local events would get pushed out through the Navigator. We are being told it is only intended for mass vaccination events and private events. We at the local level will now go back to creating our own sign up for local events. Once we figure out how we want to do that, we will announce it. We apologize for this.”
As of February 22, 2021, an estimated 20.3% of Atchison County’s residents have received at least one COVID vaccine dose. Atchison County is ranked second in the state.
