The McDonough and Schuyler County Health Departments are partnering with McDonough District Hospital to hold a mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic.

It will take place this Saturday, April 10, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the former Farm King building, 2700 East Jackson Street.

People who are age 18 or older and live and/or work in McDonough or Schuyler County are eligible.

Appointments must be made online here or by calling 833-665-4829. The phone number can be used through Friday, April 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be administered during the clinic. The Johnson & Johnson is a single dose vaccine.

Extra Opportunities for Vaccines

Ben Thompson, Emergency Response Coordinator for the McDonough County Health Department, said other vaccination opportunities are also available this week:

Wednesday, April 7, at Health Services Building 1 at MDH. You can sign up here.

Thursday afternoon, April 8, at the former Farm King building. You can sign up here.

The Moderna vaccine will be administered at the Wednesday and Thursday clinics so a follow up appointment will need to be scheduled for the second dose.
