UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:
-
Overall update: Indiana’s positivity rate is now 10.8% and Shelby County’s
positivity rate is sitting at 15.29%. Major Hospital’s inpatient
and outpatient volumes have decreased slightly compared to the increases
we experienced after the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays.
Riley Hospital is reporting a higher number of pediatric Covid positive
inpatients. This is likely due to the new, highly transmissible variant
that seems to impact children more than previous strains of the virus.
-
MHP Vaccination Clinic: Our vaccination clinic continues to run efficiently and effectively.
Unfortunately, we are receiving a limited number of vaccines each week.
Please bear with us if you are now eligible to receive the vaccine, but
you continue to have difficulty signing up for an available appointment.
We are distributing each and every dose that we receive and are ensuring
no dose is wasted. We have a contingency list of eligible patients that
we call each day when patients “no show” for their vaccine.
