Reminder: Clark County Providing Coronavirus Vaccine to Frontline Healthcare Workers

Wednesday, January 6th, 2021 -- 10:00 AM

The Clark County Health Department will be receiving its first shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine this week and will be administering vaccinations to frontline healthcare  workers, as defined in the Wisconsin State Disaster Medical Advisory Committee. 

The drive-through event will be held at the Owen-Withee-Curtiss Fire District, located at the Curtiss Station-100 Matthias Street, Curtiss, on Thursday, January 7th from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

Healthcare workers will be required to provide proof of employment or affiliation (ID badge, recent paystub, etc.) and a driver’s license (if applicable), prior to receiving the vaccine.

Please visit the Clark County website to review and complete important vaccination documents prior to arriving at the clinic.  CCHD is requesting the public to avoid this location to reduce traffic congestion.

Please be extra cautious  if you are traveling in this area.  “The availability of this vaccine to our Clark County healthcare workers is a welcoming light at the end of a dark tunnel,” said Brittany Mews, Clark County Health Officer. “We have been working closely with Clark County Emergency Management, EMS, local healthcare partners, and neighboring health  departments to plan and prepare for the distribution of this vaccine,” added Mews.  

The Moderna vaccine will require two doses, with at least 28 days between doses. “This will be the first of many COVID-19 vaccine clinics offered in Clark County. As more vaccines become available and more groups of people are eligible to receive the vaccine, the CCHD and its partners plan to host additional clinics in the north, central, and southern regions of Clark County,” stated Kelsey Wussow, Clark County  Health Department, Lead Public Health Nurse.

For the latest up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 vaccine clinics and recipient eligibility, please refer to the CCHD’s Facebook page, the Clark County website, or stay tuned for future press releases.
