The Macon County Health Department has received delayed shipments of 2nd dose vaccine. Therefore, an additional 2nd dose clinic will be held this week in order to accommodate all who were due for their 2nd doses last week and this week. There are plenty of available appointments for all residents due for a second dose from the MCHD at this time.
This clinic is intended ONLY for persons who live or work in Macon County AND who received their 1st Moderna COVID-19 vaccine from the MCHD on or before January 29th.
