Pratt County Health Director Darcie Van Der Vyver RN, told Pratt County commissioners last week that 2,895 county residents have taken the survey requesting to receive the COVID vaccine and that the county’s supply is not keeping up with the demand.
To date, the Pratt County Health Department has received 220 primary doses of the MODERNA vaccine and administered all 220 doses to the Phase 2 population, Van Der Vyver said.
“We administered 250 secondary doses as well,” she said. “So far over 1,020 people have been vaccinated in Pratt County. We still have over 1,800 people remaining on the Pratt County COVID-19 survey waiting list.”

After months of debate, discussion and deliberation, ground was broken Monday, December 7, for the new $6.3 million Pratt County Public Safety Center at NE 20th Avenue and U.S. Route 54.
Principal funding for the new facility is wind-farm revenue, $1.5 million annually.
Pratt County Commissioner Glenna Borho, who was appointed project liaison for the project for the county, opened the groundbreaking ceremony with a moment of silence to honor U.S. Troops stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii who perished or were injured in the 1941 early morning surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service forces, as well as in memory of all those who have lost their lives to the coronavirus in 2020.
