Administrator Update — March 1, 2021
The Marion County Health Department wants to again extend great appreciation to our community for the success of the “second dose” Mass Vaccination Event that was held on Friday, February 26, 2021 at the Hannibal Inn in Hannibal. Approximately 2,000 (2nd) doses were administered of the COVID-19 vaccine. This was made possible by the community working together in the planning and delivery of the event.
Partners that worked with the Marion County Health Department staff included the National Guard, SEMA, numerous volunteers consisting of local physicians, nurses and clerks, staff from neighboring local health departments, Hannibal Clinic, Hannibal Police and Fire, Marion County Sheriff, EMS and 911, Ralls County Sheriff, Chamber of Commerce (local businesses/restaurants that provided food and drink), Mo DOT, Missouri Highway Patrol, Hannibal Inn owners, Dura owner, the Railroad, as well as the public.
Again, we wish to THANK EVERYONE who helped us provide vaccinations to our community! The weather was a little warmer for everyone who worked for hours outside, making things run smoothly.
We have no more Mass Vaccination Events planned at this time. Please continue to visit our website for any updates on vaccination clinics.
Please continue to practice COVID-19 precautions, even after receiving the vaccine.
