Greensburg, IN — As the nation anxiously awaits Emergency Use Authorization of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, Decatur County Memorial Hospital (DCMH) is preparing to fulfill its duties as one of 50 Indiana hospitals chosen as a vaccination site serving the southeastern Indiana region.
“The vaccination clinic is fully configured and ready to begin inoculations as soon as the vaccine is approved and delivered,” said DCMH CEO Rex McKinney. “Our team has worked diligently to ensure our community has available resources and the latest treatments for COVID-19. This specialized vaccination clinic is yet another example of how our team at DCMH serves our community.”
It is anticipated the vaccine will arrive in Indiana within the next few weeks. The first vaccines will be distributed to health care workers who have the highest risk of exposure. As the availability of the vaccine increases, DCMH will begin to vaccinate in order of most to least vulnerable community members. At this time, the vaccine has not been approved for children.
