Due to the weather and circumstances beyond their control, the Paris Lamar Health District did not receive the 1,000 first doses and 400 of the second doses scheduled for distribution this Saturday. They do have 590 transferred from PRMC and will vaccinate with those as planned. They expect close to 2,400 doses delivered this coming week, and they will distribute next Friday and Saturday.
With that said, the COVID Call Center will begin calling residents to reschedule them for next Fri/Sat appointments. It will include all second-dose recipients (who were due 2/19) and others based on Phase, age, and registration date. A reminder that second doses can be given up to six weeks after the first and still be 100% effective!
The Call Center will also begin calling up to 1,800 more recipients on the waiting list to schedule them for the clinic next Friday and Saturday (2/26,2/27). Thank you for your patience, and please remember to answer your phone even if it says Unknown Caller during the day Friday!
