In the nearly four months since December’s tornado outbreak, the Fulton County community of Cayce has been hard at work making progress toward recovery.
Hickman County man receiving the COVID-19 vaccination
Current data suggests the number of active coronavirus cases in Hickman County is declining and, simultaneously, the health department has begun distributing vaccines throughout the community.
Tom and Cherry Pyron of Hickman County received their first dose of their Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Jan. 11 at the Hickman County Clinic. Cherry says she and her husband were initially concerned about access to the vaccine through the local health department because the county doesn’t house any chain pharmacies. She said learning they could get the vaccine locally was a welcomed surprise.
“I do know that if we d had to go to another county for the vaccine, the process would have been much more difficult and the wait would have been longer,” she said.
