Should you take the covid-19 vaccine?

To take the vaccine, or not to take the vaccine that is the question on many residents’ minds as the first doses of Moderna’s covid-19 vaccine arrive throughout Mohave County and distribution begins. “The notion of taking the vaccine is a very personal decision,” said Kingman Regional Medical Center CEO Will McConnell. In Lake Havasu City some residents have said they will get vaccinated as soon as possible, others want to wait and see how things go, and others say they don’t plan to get the vaccine at all. CEO Mike Stenger said Western Arizona Medical Center reached out to its employees recently to get an idea of how many vaccinations it would need for its facility and found about a third of its employees fell into each category.

Mohave County hospitals await vaccine, continue case surge battle

Local hospitals anxiously await the shipment of vaccines as exhausted staff face record coronavirus numbers that cast a long shadow over the spikes of the summer. On Thursday alone, the Mohave County Department of Public Health reported 246 new cases and three additional deaths. Of those new cases, 98 are in Kingman, 84 are in Bullhead City, and 55 are in Lake Havasu City. That adds up to 1,120 new cases and 11 deaths reported so far this week, since last Friday at noon and today’s numbers are still on their way. Mohave County health officials announced that the first shipment of the Moderna vaccine could arrive beginning as early as next week, but no definitive date was provided. Local hospitals don’t have a day to mark on their calendars yet, either, nor any idea of how many doses they’ll be allotted.

Havasu Regional Medical Center initiates coronavirus surge plan

Havasu Regional Medical Center is implementing its surge plans to open up additional ICU beds as covid-19 cases continue to rise and hospital capacity diminishes throughout the city, state and country. New numbers released on Thursday, which reflect data for the week of Nov. 22, show Mohave County is still classified in moderate transmission according to the Arizona Department of Public Health’s business dashboard, but it is quickly trending towards the widespread designation with two of the three metrics used already well above the threshold for widespread transmission. The business dashboard shows 302 cases in the county per 100,000 population as of Nov. 22, a 16.8% positivity rate, and 8.9% of hospital visits for covid-like illness.
