Wake Up TriCounties RaeAnn Tucker Latest COVID 19 Info

A new version of the COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna is now available for those seeking a booster shot to combat the latest COVID-19 variation. The Henry and Stark County Health Department will be holding a COVID-19 Booster Clinic from 4 Pm to 7 Pm this evening at Kewanee High School. No appointment is necessary. The only requirements are that you are 12 years old or older and that you have received your first two doses of COVID-19, the original two shot sequence. You cannot get the new booster unless you've had both of your COVID-19 shots and that your most recent booster shot was more than 2 months ago. The Omicron strain of COVID-19 is now the most dominant strain in the country and variations of the Omicron strain have led to the need to create a new version of the booster vaccine. RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Department talked about tonight's Booster Clinic and talked about how the most recent COVID-19 numbers are down slightly. Both Henry and Stark County moved back to the low risk for transmission status of last Friday, September 9th, 2022.
