Three Rivers Public Health Department, Methodist Launch Partnership to Immunize Community

The Three Rivers Public Health Department, Methodist Fremont Health and Methodist Physicians Clinic announced a partnership Tuesday to launch a community COVID-19 vaccination effort.

The partnership will begin vaccinating individuals 75 and older on Thursday. The vaccination effort will start with individuals who have already submitted their names via the Three Rivers Public Health Department wait list.

Vaccinations will be distributed at Christensen Field and will be provided by appointment only on designated days and times.

“We are so pleased to be bringing the COVID-19 vaccine to the community while partnering with Methodist Fremont Health and Methodist Physicians Clinic,” Terra Uhing, executive director of the Three Rivers Public Health Department, said in a press release. “We are very pleased with the interest from our 65-plus population in getting the vaccine. This is a population that is most at risk for COVID-19, so being able to get them vaccinated is a step in the right direction with the pandemic.”
