ALGONA Changes are underway for COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Kossuth County. Beginning in May, vaccine will be offered in a new location and online registration will soon be available for COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
For this week, individuals interested in receiving the vaccine may call the Kossuth County Call Center at 515-395-9111 on Thursday, April 22 between 10 a.m. and noon to make a vaccine appointment for Wednesday, April 28. This clinic will be the final one held at the Harley Davidson building on Highway 18.
In May vaccine clinics will move to the Kossuth County Fairgrounds, with plans for a drive-through vaccine station. This will likely be a short-term solution for delivering COVID-19 vaccine, as plans are being discussed to eventually hold vaccine clinics onsite at Kossuth Regional Health Center.
