“We administered 250 secondary doses as well,” she said. “So far over 1,020 people have been vaccinated in Pratt County. We still have over 1,800 people remaining on the Pratt County COVID-19 survey waiting list.”

Last week 220 primary doses of the MODERNA vaccine were received and administered to the Phase 2 population in Pratt County by the Pratt County Health Department. This week zero vaccination shots arrived in Pratt because of weather delays. Vaccine doses are still in limited supply, said Pratt County Health Department Administrator Darcie Van Der Vyver. This week we did not receive any primary doses due to the weather.
According to Van Der Vyver, there were 250 secondary doses administered last week, in addition to the 220 primary doses of MODERNA, so more than 1,020 people have been vaccinated in Pratt County, with more than 1,800 people remaining on the Pratt County COVID-19 survey waiting list. She said that the health department is currently out of COVID-19 vaccine but is receiving more weekly. Calls will be made according to the survey sign-up list.

The mood was light at the Pratt Community Center last Thursday as 350 individuals were vaccinated against COVID-19. I m so happy to be here. We are doing our part to stomp this sucker out, said Fonda Pusatero.
In a wheelchair, Pusatero, accompanied by her husband, Al Pusatero, were classified as Phase 1, long-term care supported patients. They had previously registered with the Pratt County Health Department via a needs survey and received a call the day before that it was their turn to get vaccinated.
At the Pratt Community Center they were ushered through several check-points, as were all patients, in an efficient and organized fashion. Checkpoints were manned by medical personnel from the Pratt County Health Department, Pratt Regional Medical Center, Pratt Internal Medicine Group and Pratt Family Practice.
