Vaccination percentages are increasing in the region.
“This week we have some more doses scheduled and next week, too,” Scott County Health Department nurse Meghan VanDeVelde said, adding that most of the vaccine the department gets is Moderna.
The department is administering second-dose shots on Friday, she said.
“We’re doing about 120 second-dose shots and then we’re doing almost 20 (first) doses that day, as well,” she said.
According to Illinois Department of Public Health, Scott County has administered 1,070 vaccine doses and 5.48% of Scott County’s population is fully vaccinated.
