JERSEYVILLE U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis toured a Jerseyville vaccination site on Wednesday to see how the vaccination process is going in Jersey County and to encourage people to be vaccinated.
Davis, R-Illinois, toured the Susnig Center vaccination site at 401 Mound St. on Wednesday morning with plans to tour a Greene County site later in the day.
“This is the third vaccination clinic tour I’ve been to in less than a week, fifth in the last two weeks,” Davis said. “And it’s just a great opportunity to see what our communities like Jerseyville and Jersey County are doing to get shots in the arms of people.”
