SCOTT COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT EXPECTS COVID-19
VACCINE IN JANUARY
DECEMBER 15, 2020― The Scott County Health Department (SCHD) is expecting their first shipment of a COVID-19 vaccine in early 2021. The department already has their distribution plan in place but are awaiting final guidance from Indiana Department of Health (IDOH). Scott County Preparedness Coordinator Patti Hall stated, “We were able to use our H1N1 influenza plans and experience to quickly create our plans for distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. We will be using our bays for drive-thru services for all patients.”
At this time it is still unknown who will qualify or have priority for the vaccination. For now, there is not a waiting list for the vaccine. The health department expects to use an online scheduling tool provided by IDOH to make the process more streamlined. The vaccine will require a second dose and a person is not fully immunized until both doses are received. More information will be provided to the public once SCHD has received their instructions and guidance from the Indiana Department of Health.
