Sheridan Memorial Hospital has received approximately 970 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. That includes 700 doses in late December and 270 doses in mid-January.
Another 975 doses of the Pfizer vaccine are scheduled to arrive Jan. 26, and according to Dr. John Addlesperger, SMH Chief Medical Officer, appointments are currently being scheduled to administer those doses as well.
During a SMH leadership briefing, Addlesperger said leadership is watching the national supply chain and barring an unforeseen event, does not expect a substantial increase in vaccine delivery.
“That’s our goal, to receive vaccines and get it into arms as soon as possible,” Addlesperger said.
Sheridan County’s Incident Management Team has gathered the following information to help inform the community about the COVID-19 vaccination process and status.
Sheridan County Public Health and Sheridan Memorial Hospital share the allotment of vaccine doses provided by the state. Both facilities require appointments to get the vaccine and only schedule appointments for the number of doses of the vaccines the county is scheduled to receive.
“Vaccinations will be more like a marathon than a sprint,” Sheridan County Public Health Nurse Manager Debra Haar said. “Supplies are going to be limited for at least a few months, so we are not going to be able to vaccinate everyone who is interested right away. We appreciate everyone’s patience and continued vigilance with the necessary COVID-19 precautions while we work through this together. We will do everything possible to make all vaccine doses we receive available to the community as soon as possible.”
