Public Service Announcement on vaccines
North Central District Health Department (NCDHD) has been made aware of 20 new COVID-19 cases in the district since last reporting period on February 18, 2021: 3-Antelope, 0-Boyd, 1-Brown, 7-Cherry, 5-Holt, 0-Keya Paha, 1-Knox, 2-Pierce, 1-Rock.
NCDHD still encourages district residents to continue to wear your mask in public places or where social distancing is difficult and practice social distancing while out in public.
NCDHD regrets to inform the district that planned shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine for vaccination clinics will not be arriving in the district as scheduled due to sub-zero weather conditions and power outages.
Affected COVID-19 vaccine clinics have been or will be rescheduled to a later date. Appointment times and locations will remain the same on the new clinic dates unless otherwise communicated. NCDHD expects that vaccine shipping delays may impact vaccine clinics the week of February 22-26.
Due to the number of clinics and appointments scheduled NCDHD relies on an automated service for notifying those who are scheduled for appointments. District residents with appointments for upcoming clinics should expect an automated phone call from 402-336-2406 to the contact information provided through the registration process detailing clinic status information or further instructions. If you receive an automated call from NCDHD and your same appointment time will not work for you on the rescheduled date, please call NCDHD at 402-336-2406. Otherwise, no call back is needed. NCDHD asks for the patience and understanding of the district residents as we work to resolve issues within our control during this time. District residents should continue to check local media sources for the most up-to-date information available.
The Valentine Midland News will share this information on their Facebook page when it’s released.
