KNOX COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) - Good Samaritan Hospital was picked to distribute the vaccine for Knox, Daviess, and Pike county health care workers. Around 2,000 workers received the vaccine. However, there are about 5,000 workers who are eligible.
With plenty of vaccines in the freezers, the health department is anxious to continue vaccinating the public. Last week the health department decided to give out the vaccine to some essential workers.
Dr. Alan Stewart says they are now setting up a clinic to give out the vaccine to the public. That clinic will be at Community Methodist Church. Stewart says they will continue to follow the state s mandates on distribution. He says he is anxious to get the vaccine out quickly.
