SEDHD opens up COVID-19 vaccinations to more

(KLZA) - The Southeast District Health Department entered Phase 2-B for COVID-19 vaccinations on Monday.

That means, any Nebraska resident, 18 and older can register for a vaccination. Since the MODERNA vaccine is what is being shipped to the district, it must be used for adults 18 and over.

If you have not registered to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, you need to do so if you want the vaccine. To register, use your computer to log on to vaccinate.ne.gov.

If you need assistance with getting registered, you may call the Southeast District Health Department at 402-274-3993 and use extension, 105, 109 or 110 and someone will help you.

Community Medical Center in Falls City gave 500 COVID-19 vaccine shots last week and are expecting to do close to 400 more this week.

Southeast District Health Department Director Grant Brueggemann says district wide, progress is being made on getting the vaccine into arms. As of Monday, 20.57 percent of the residents within the five-county SEDHD jurisdiction have received the vaccine.

There have been 167 COVID-19 cases confirmed within the five-county district in the last 30 days.

Once you have received your second dose of the vaccine, you are fully vaccinated two weeks later.
