The Moderna vaccine has just received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA and quantities are expected to ship soon.  We will continue to work with local providers to ensure priority vaccination schedules are followed.  Quantities should arrive in both Piatt and DeWitt from these shipments.  The Decision to prioritize the COVID-19 vaccine was determined by the federal government based on limited available quantities. As a provider, we are required to follow this model. Vaccine availability is based on supply and we cannot guarantee a date of release for the general public at this time.  If you are a Health Care Worker and employed in DeWitt or Piatt County, your facility has remained in consistent contact with the health department and will begin administration once the vaccine has been delivered.
