COVID VACCINE

The Atchison County Health Department continues to put in requests for vaccine weekly and has plans in place to vaccinate qualified individuals, but they do not have vaccine available at this time.  They will make appointments as soon as their vaccine request is approved and is shipped to them.  The health department will let you know what to do via their Facebook page, the newspaper, and radio.

There is a registration form at https://forms.gle/Cy5mTcCogcFaiGVU8 or you can call the health department at 660-736-4121. This form does not guarantee you a vaccine but helps the health department to alert you. Their vaccine team is working as quickly as possible and they will post additional information as it becomes available.

Please be on the watch for regional implementation teams to be providing drive-through COVID vaccine clinics throughout the region. The health department will post the sign-up as soon as it is available to the public.

 The most effective weapon against COVID-19 remains prevention. We must all do our part. Remember: hands, face, space . . . wash your hands, cover your face, and keep at least six feet of space.
