Carroll County Memorial Hospital is registered as a COVID-19 Vaccinator through the State of Missouri.

A news release says, however, CCMH does not have vaccines available for the general public at this time.

Jeff Tindle, CCMH CEO says, “At this point, we have not received a shipment directly to CCMH. We have been very lucky to have partnering hospitals share a portion of their vaccine shipments, allowing us to administer them to our badged hospital personnel, so they can continue to care for our patients.”

On Wednesday, January 27, CCMH will be administering vaccinations to critical healthcare infrastructure, such as first responders.

Dr. Andy Horine says, “We are working hard to put our limited stock to best use while following the Missouri vaccination guidelines. This stage of the process is important in order for us to be prepared to vaccinate a larger group when it comes time for the next phase of public vaccinations.”

Volunteers receiving the initial batch of vaccinations include first responders, law enforcement and dental workers to name a few.

All of the latest COVID-19 vaccine information can be found on the state’s website at www.MOstopsCovid.com.
