6 cases were added on Thursday. We encourage those who have been vaccinated to continue masking when in public around those who may not be vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated, please continue to mask and social distance when spending time with others outside your household. #livewelltogether

We added 11 active cases on Wednesday.

Due to the increased number of cases in our county, PCHC will be sharing daily updates until there is a decrease in transmission rates. March 10 was the last date we had 21 or more active cases. January 31 was the last date we had 240+ in quarantine. ... While vaccination rates continue to increase, we would encourage everyone to be vaccinated. PCHC has vaccine available daily, no appointment necessary. There are additional vaccine sites throughout the county. PCHC is working to secure Pfizer vaccine for those 12-17 years. We will notify the public as soon as it is available in our clinic. If you have not been fully vaccinated, or you are in gatherings with others who are not vaccinated, we encourage you to continue masking, practice hand-washing and social distancing. If you are sick, stay home. #livewelltogether

We receive calls this weekend from older patients who all reported receiving calls from CMH stating the vaccine is being offered for $150. This is a scam and pe...ople should be cautious. CMH is not offering the COVID vaccine to the public yet. We are following the state vaccination plan by vaccinating front-line health care workers and long-term care residents and staff first (Phase 1A). More information about Missouri’s vaccination plan is available at https://covidvaccine.mo.gov/. See more
