Morgan County’s older residents over the holidays started to receive their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine as it became available.
Local medical practices and the Health Department alerted those over age 80 of the availability of a limited number of doses here in the county.
Morgan County Health Department staff advertised and set up appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations for the priority age group of 80 years old and older on Wednesday, December 30 once vaccines were received.
Health Department staff came in and administered vaccines on Thursday, December 31 for two hours by appointment despite the agency being closed for the holidays.
