Morrow County begins administering COVID-19 vaccine to first responders

HEPPNER — Despite the cold weather, wind and drizzle, Morrow County Sheriff Ken Matlack appeared in a jovial mood on Wednesday, Dec. 30, awaiting his first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine beneath a tent in the parking lot of the Bartholomew Building in Heppner. After filling out paperwork and picking an arm, Matlack lifted the left sleeve of his uniform and received the first vaccination of the morning. “It feels like just getting a flu shot,” he said as he returned to his patrol car to wait out the mandatory 15-minute recovery period. While Heppner’s Pioneer Memorial Hospital wrapped up its staff vaccinations earlier this week, the Dec. 30 vaccination event marked the first time Morrow County made vaccines available to law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical personnel and other first responders.
