Clinton County August 23rd Covid Report

Since our 8/19 update, 28 additional lab-confirmed COVID-19 positive cases have been reported.
Currently, third dose shots are available for immunocompromised individuals. If you believe you are eligible, you can now contact your healthcare provider, local pharmacy, or local health department to schedule your next vaccination.
Booster shots for all other vaccinated individuals will become available this fall, as our residents approach the 8-month post-vaccination mark. We ask you to be patient in the coming months as we learn more about how this roll-out will take place.
Regardless of vaccination status, CCHD continues to recommend all residents wear masks indoors, avoid crowds and high-risk activities, wash hands frequently, and get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated reduces your chances of contracting COVID-19, protects you from severe illness requiring hospitalization and helps to eliminate the virus’ ability to mutate and create new variants.
Note: Our next case update will be posted on Thursday, August 26.
