Thanks to a federal partnership with Daniel Pharmacy, Webster County will receive another 400 doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for manufacturing and production workers who are unable to social distance at work.
The Webster County Health Department (WCHD) and Daniel Pharmacy learned of the new shipment Monday afternoon. After a whirlwind of positive news and several hours of planning, the single-dose vaccines will be delivered to workers at Elanco, Nestle Purina PetCare and C&S Products Co. Inc. on Thursday and Friday.
The doses, received from the federal government through the Community Pharmacy Enhanced Service Network that Daniel Pharmacy is part of, must be used in manufacturing employer settings. WCHD asked local manufacturers to prioritize production workers who are unable to social distance, have coexisting high-risk medical conditions and those over 65.
