“As cases climb throughout Winnebago County, we are continuing our efforts to bring vaccination clinics closer to where our community members live and work,” said Doug Gieryn, director/health officer for the Winnebago County Health Department. “We encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated to help curb COVID-19 as we move into the next school year and back indoors this fall. We also recommend everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated to wear a mask in indoor public settings and crowded outdoor venues.”
Third doses for those eligible may not be available at this location. Call the Winnebago County Health Department’s COVID-19 Hotline at 920-232-3026 between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with any questions related to COVID-19 and vaccination.
