CMC

(KLZA)-- Community Medical Center in Falls City is where COVID-19 vaccinations are being given in Richardson County.

Marketing and Events Coorinator Linda Santo says the hospital is following state health guidelines in issuing vaccinations. Santo reassures area residents that if you want a COVID-19 vaccination, you will receive one.

If you have not yet registered for a vaccination you can do so online at vaccinate.ne.gov, fill out a short questionaire and submit the form. If you cannot get to the website call 402-274-3993 and someone can help you complete the form. If you registered previously, you are on the list and will be contacted based on the criteria used by the state.

CMC Administrator Ryan Larsen said the hospital received notice each week of how many vaccinations and how many second vaccinations will be issued to the hospital. Along with that information, the hospital is provided with a list of who is on the list to receive those vaccinations.

Larsen said he knows some people are frustrated having to wait so long to receive the vaccinations. He is hopeful the process will speed up in the coming weeks.

Testing for COVID-19 at CMC in Falls City is now taking place Thursday mornings from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. If you are ill and feel you need to have a test done on a different day contact your physician or Community Medical Center.
