COVID-19 information from the Miller County OEM Update on information to citizens of Miller County on COVID vaccinations
The Office of Emergency Management participated in a conference call with the Arkansas Dept of Health and the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management Friday which gave more insight into the distribution of COVID-19 vaccination. ADH revealed Arkansas is number 10 in the U.S. with vaccination distribution and although currently the allotment to each County is still minimal, a 16% increase of vaccine disbursement should boost doses received in our County.
