The Marshall County Health Department has received word that it will be receiving 738 first dose COVID-19 vaccinations to be given from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Chevron Building at the Marshall County Fairgrounds.
Although this figure is less than this past week, health department director Tom Cook said he was pleased, adding that this will bring the figure for the two week period to 1,998 vaccinations given.
This past week’s vaccinations went very smoothly, according to Cook.
“This past week’s distribution was a teamwork effort, we couldn’t have carried this out without help from numerous individuals,” he said.
