(From the Christian County Health Department)The Christian County Health Department is sad to report 4 new COVID-19 related deaths in the county.
The first was a 69-year-old Caucasian male, unvaccinated with underlying health conditions, the second was a 44-year-old Hispanic male, unvaccinated, with no underlying health conditions, the third was an 84-year-old Caucasian female, unvaccinated, with underlying health conditions and the fourth was an 80-year-old Caucasian male, unvaccinated, with underlying health conditions. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family we have lost.
We strongly encourage those of you in the community who have not yet been vaccinated to please consider getting your COVID-19 vaccine.
Statistics show that those who have been vaccinated are 3.5 times less likely to get the virus, 8 times less likely to get sick, and 25 times less likely to die from COVID-19. The Christian County Health Department continues to offer Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:45 AM – 4:15 PM.
