istock_outdoordining_012221

Crook County is moving in the right direction and will be “Low-Risk” starting Friday, March 12th for the state’s next 2-week cycle. This allows businesses to ease more restrictions, although social distancing and mask wearing still apply.

The Crook County Health Department will continue to actively administer the COVID vaccine to the community using the approved list of groups that the Governor’s office and OHA has released. The health department is pleased to announce that a growing partnership with St. Charles, Mosaic Medical, Rite Aid Pharmacy, Clinic Pharmacy and Bi-Mart Pharmacy will reach even more of the community as these sites will now be administering the vaccine as well.

Mosaic Medical commented “We are currently collaborating with Crook County Health Department and other regional healthcare organizations to provide COVID-19 vaccines. We are contacting patients directly as they become eligible according to state guidelines, and as vaccine supply allows. We ask that patients refrain from calling regarding vaccine appointments as we are reaching out individually as appropriate.” Learn more here in English and Spanish: https://www.mosaicmedical.org/blog/mosaic- covid-19-vaccine-information/

As additional groups become eligible the health department will continue to do public vaccination clinics at the Crook County Fairgrounds. The clinic is by appointment only and once your group becomes eligible you will be able to schedule an appointment using an online scheduler.
