Vaccine clinics still taking place; Those fully vaccinated continue to enjoy normal lifestyle

The COVID-19 virus is still on the move through unvaccinated individuals in the county, but those who are vaccinated can continue normal lifestyles without wearing masks, according to health officials offering guidance on the matter.

In May, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) declared that anyone vaccinated for COVID-19 can gather indoors without masks with others who are fully vaccinated, and limit social distancing, and that still remains true. For those not yet vaccinated, Allamakee County Public Health does have a good supply of vaccine and is highly encouraging everyone to receive it.

Vaccine clinics are readily available every Friday afternoon for both prime and boost doses for Moderna. Currently, Johnson and Johnson one-dose vaccine is also available. These are held at the main entrance to Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon. Call 563-568-5660 to schedule.

The other vaccination partners, including Hartig Drug, Gundersen Clinic and the new Nightingale Pharmacy, also continue to provide vaccine. Feel free to call any of them to make an appointment. As stated by the CDC, the COVID-19 vaccination will help keep individuals from getting COVID-19.

Be sure to continue to watch the Veterans Memorial Hospital website at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com and the Veterans Memorial Hospital Facebook page for upcoming vaccination clinic details.
