Vaccine Clinics
Health department to conduct Pfizer vaccine clinic in Monett
The Barry County Health Department will conduct a community-wide vaccine clinic on Monday July 12, beginning at 4:00 p.m. at the Monett Middle School. This vaccine clinic is open to all Missouri residents aged 12 and older who are eligible to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination. There is no cost to individuals receiving the vaccine. Residents must call 417-847-2114 to schedule an appointment.
Over 11,000 (or 31 percent of)Barry County residents have begun the vaccine regimen. Summer time events, travel, and the return to school in just over a month will continue to place unvaccinated people at great risk of contracting COVID-19. The rise of COVID-19 variants, particularly the Delta variant, have added to the rise of cases in Barry County and Southwest Missouri. Unvaccinated persons are at risk of contracting COVID and experiencing serious illness. Vaccination continues to be our best defense to the effects of COVID and it remains extremely important that people get their vaccination.
Why should I get vaccinated? The CDC recommendations for those who are fully vaccinated (2 weeks after second dose.):
• Travel domestically without pre or post travel CoVID testing.
• Travel domestically without quarantining.
• Travel internationally (depending on destination) without a pre-travel CoVID test.
• Travel internationally without post-travel quarantining.
Masking and physical distancing continues to be recommended for non-vaccinated persons.
