It’s remarkable that we have it and are able to give it : COVID-19 vaccine arrives in Adair County
Lori Guffey is starting to see some light trickle out of a dark tunnel.
She, the clinic supervisor and communicable disease specialist at the Adair County Health Department, was one of many workers on hand Monday as the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was distributed in Kirksville. Adair County was one of 10 in the state to receive doses and began administering them at the NEMO Fairgrounds.
The department received 975 doses last week and Jim LeBaron, administrator of ACHD, said about 940 people had signed up to get it as of Monday afternoon. The first doses are going to workers in health care and nursing homes, as well as first responders and teachers.
