Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia has been selected as a high throughput vaccinator as part of Missouri’s new vaccine distribution plan.

A news release says as a result, it is scheduled to receive additional COVID-19 vaccine doses throughout February to accommodate administering the vaccine to the community and surrounding areas.

Health officials say, “All vaccines will be given by appointment only to eligible individuals. Community members who are interested in receiving the vaccine are encouraged to fill out the online registration form on the Bothwell website at www.brhc.org/vaccine. Vaccine appointments will be scheduled as vaccines are available and clinic dates are released. The website also has information on who is eligible or when you might become eligible for the vaccine.”

Bothwell’s drive-through COVID-19 testing is located at the Sheep Pavilion on the Missouri State Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Curbside testing is not available at the Walk-In Clinic during the winter months.

Katy Trail Community Health also is doing free COVID-19 testing at 821 Westwood Drive in Sedalia from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, February 12.
