Late email responds causes woman to miss vaccine
ST CHARLES COUNTY, Missouri (KMOV) — A woman told News 4 she got an email saying it was her turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but when she filled out the form, her appointment was no longer available.
Currently, the St. Charles County Health Department has over 100,000 people on their pre-registration list. The state wants them to administer every dose within seven days. So, if you don’t respond fast enough, you run the risk of losing your spot.
“I mean, it was unexpected. You try everything you can to avoid any kind of exposure to COVID,” said Yvonne Lakes. In early November, Lakes and her husband, Tommie both caught COVID-19. Her symptoms improved, but Tommie’s didn’t. Her 72-year-old husband with diabetes, spent 29 days in the hospital, away from her, before he died on December 6.
