ROCK SPRINGS During an informational COVID-19 meeting with public health and local elected officials, Sweetwater County Public Health Director Kim Lionberger informed the group that Sweetwater County will receive a surprise shipment of 975 doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week.
Lionbeger said the shipment is estimated to arrive Tuesday, January 12, or Wednesday, January 13.
Currently, the vaccines (including both the Moderna and Pfizer versions) are being given through appointment only to 1a and 1b categories. Memorial Hospital has asked the public not to call with questions about the vaccination and refer to online sources to see if you are in one of the current priority groups and to then call public health for an appointment.
