We are saddened to report two more COVID-related deaths -- a man in his 80s, and a man in his 70s. Our sympathies go out to their families and friends. We have lost a total of 128 Vermilion County residents to COVID-related deaths since this pandemic began.
There are currently nine Vermilion County residents with COVID hospitalized. There are currently 79 active COVID cases in the county. We have received 129,336 negative test results.
We vaccinated about 145 people today. We still have plenty of openings at DACC on Wednesday, 4/21, from 8-3 for both 1st and 2nd Moderna Vaccine doses. We will be back to the Airport on Thursday, 4/22– Saturday, 4/24. Anyone 18 and older can sign for our upcoming clinics by going to our website: www.vchd.org , or they can call 217-431-2662 ext. 263 or 264. We are also accepting walk-ins!
We hope to hear something by Thursday or Friday for the upcoming Johnson and Johnson Clinics. We have quite a few clinics on hold, but we will make our decisions by the end of this week if we will administer Moderna instead for our scheduled J and J clinics.
