“We’re excited to be able to offer no-appointment needed vaccination at these sites,” said Sabine Biabe A Som, NCHD Immunization Coordinator. “We want to make it easy for members of the community to access COVID-19 vaccination and removing the need for appointments will make vaccination that much easier at the majority of our clinics. With this change, we hope more people will take advantage of the vaccine so we can see a greater level of protection in our area.”
Any appointments for second doses of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine already scheduled at these sites will remain booked. Individuals with existing appointments should arrive for their second dose at the scheduled location, date and time.
CDC announced new mask guidelines to those who are fully vaccinated
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) The CDC announced earlier this week that fully vaccinated individuals can largely ditch masks.
The CDC suggests individuals still wear masks in crowded indoor settings, including buses and plane.
The North Central Health District says the new guidelines have brought confusion and that many people are unsure if they want to stop wearing a mask even after being fully vaccinated.
“I think for some it may be uncomfortable, but it all depends on how a person evaluates their risk,” NCHD spokesman Michael Hokanson said.
The NCHD says it will continue working to get people vaccinated as part of its mission to stop the spread of COVID-19.
