Health Department expects to soon receive Moderna vaccines

Jefferson County Health Department officials hope to soon receive a shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved. During a Facebook Live session today (Dec. 22), Jeana Vidacak, public health preparedness coordinator for the Health Department, said the Health Department is an approved vaccination site and has signed up for shipments of the vaccine. She also said Missouri is still working to vaccinate health care workers and people in long-term care facilities. Vidacak said the long-term care facilities are working directly with Walgreens or CVS pharmacies to vaccinate workers and residents. She said the Health Department does not have the proper refrigerators to store the Pfizer vaccines, so the agency did not receive any of those.
