Bureau County Health Department making plans for first wave of COVID-19 vaccines

 

PRINCETON – The Bureau, Putnam & Marshall County Health Department have announced they will be working to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to frontline health care workers at Perry Memorial Hospital and St. Margaret’s Hospital in the next few days. They will also start providing the vaccine to people in high-risk categories.
Administrator Hector Gomez said Saturday “We are following recommendations from the CDC and IDPH to ensure fair and equitable vaccine distribution. As soon as large quantities of the vaccine are available, the goal is for everyone to be able to easily get vaccinated later in 2021.”
