State plan distributes vaccine based on district population
Cox Monett received the latest round of COVID-19 (coronavirus) vaccines this week and kicked off a vaccination clinic for at-risk residents Tuesday.
CoxHealth received a total of 5,700 doses this week and 1,000 doses last week. These are the first doses the hospital system has received since it got its initial release of 6,700 doses in December.
We are encouraged by that number, and we are confident that we can administer that number, CoxHealth President Steve Edwards said. I hope that number will only grow.
The state vaccination plan indicates that Cox and Mercy will continue to receive 5,700 doses every other week at least through February.
