COVID-19 VACCINATION PLAN

February 1, 2021
The Salem Memorial District Hospital has been included in the first phase of the High Throughput Vaccination program in the state of Missouri. Along with Phelps Health, we will be the consortium for Missouri local region I. The Salem Memorial District Hospital will be receiving a limited number of the Covid-19 Moderna vaccine during the month of February. This does not include the Covid-19 vaccination program being provided by the National Guard on Feb 11th and 12th (which will be the Covid-19 Pfizer vaccine). The Dent County Health Center (DCHC) will be assisting with the scheduling and vaccination of our community. All vaccinations MUST be scheduled. The location, date, and time of the vaccinations will be shared once it has been determined and the DCHC will schedule based on your convenience and availability. To schedule your Covid-19 vaccination, please contact the Dent County Health Center at (573) 729-3106. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
