(Glenwood) Public health officials in KMAland are gearing up for the first distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across the region.
Mills County s Public Health Department is among the agencies working with the Iowa Department of Public Health on plans to provide the first vaccines later this month. Mills County Public Health Administrator Julie Lynes tells KMA News her agency recently received word that the first doses of the Moderna vaccine arrive in the county next week. We did receive notice that we would be getting the Moderna vaccine, said Lynes. The anticipated ship date is the week of December 21st. We are not getting a really large shipment this first round. We are anticipating getting approximately 300 doses, and then we are expecting every week after to get those doses.
