The McLean County Board of Health meets Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021.
The continuing COVID pandemic, and the challenges facing the health department because of it, were the focus of Wednesday’s McLean County Board of Health meeting.
The department is developing long-term plans beyond spring, but still is unable to plan out for vaccine quantities for more than a week at a time, said administrator Jessica McKnight.
MCHD learns Wednesday or Thursday how many doses will arrive the following week. And on Friday, staff learns if vaccine for second doses to be given a month after a first dose will be shipped the following week. So, it’s quite a complicated system.
