The Van Wert County Health District is ready to implement COVID-19 vaccinations just as soon as the vaccines make it here.
County Environmental Health Director Britt Menchhofer said local health officials don’t have a date yet when the first vaccine shipment will arrive here, but thinks it will be relatively soon.
“At this time, we actually still do not know when we will be getting the vaccine,” Menchhofer said. “”I know they’re talking, potentially, this Wednesday, but it may be next week.”
Fortunately, she added, the local health district conducts planning sessions on a regular basis to prepare for mass vaccinations and other health emergency situations, so there are plans in place to deal with a vaccine rollout.
