Vaccines for COVID-19 are still being offered for free in Madison County, and a spokesperson with the Health Department says they remain busy. Appointments are preferred to help with planning, but walk-ins are welcome at the mass vaccination site in Collinsville, and you don’t have to work or live in Madison County to get a shot there.
Madison County Health Department Spokesperson Amy Yeager tells the Big Z while some sites in other counties have seen a slowing of those wanting the vaccine, she does not believe they have plateaued in Collinsville.
