The following information has been released by the Bates County Health
Center in Butler. COVID-19 Vaccine Update: Although the state of Missouri
has announced that it will proceed to Phase 1B for high risk individuals as of
today, the SUPPLY is still an issue. Both Bates County Health Center & Bates
County Memorial Hospital have signed up to be a vaccine locations and have
ordered vaccine, but we do not know when it will arrive. Neither facility have
the appropriate, ultra-cold storage for the Pfizer vaccine, and are waiting for
our orders of the Moderna vaccine – like most rural areas – that only require
refrigeration.
Bates County Health Center will announce via Facebook and local media
when we receive vaccine and start accepting appointments, until that time
the center is not making a waiting list.!
