The Todd County Health Department plans to give COVID-19 vaccines on two days next week to make up this week’s clinic that was canceled due to the winter weather.
Health department director Jen Harris said they should receive both this week’s and next week’s allotment of the vaccine on Tuesday which will allow for two vaccination clinics.
