COLUMBIA - After calls to the Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) about the COVID-19 vaccine became too much to handle, the department made a separate email address to handle the questions.
In just six days, that email address has received 10,362 emails. Cole County set up a similar questionnaire and received over 4,000. Many people are asking the same question. I could say 100%, if not 99%, Ashton Day with the Boone County Health Department said. It s people excited to get the vaccine.
For others, it s people wanting information about the vaccine, but not for themselves. We ve had people call in and say, I have a brother and sister who are both diabetic, Boone County PHHS Assistant Director Scott Clardy said. But I have two parents that are 75 years old, please vaccinate my parents before you get to my brother and sister.
