This is not a legitimate member of our staff. Please do not give out your Medicare Number to anyone over the phone. Please pass this on to anyone who may have Medicare.

The immunization schedule is carefully designed to provide protection at exactly the right time. Since it takes a few weeks for vaccines to start working, it’s important for Baby Jack’s parents to vaccinate on time.

COVID-19 testing remains a critical element of fighting the pandemic. If you are symptomatic or have been in direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, there are multiple ways to receive testing in our community. Rapid antigen testing is available however it is limited and there are certain clinical criteria that must be met to make this test appropriate. In addition, due to current technical and logistical constraints we are unable to make this test widely available in a drive up fashion, and the send out PCR test remains the most accurate test in most situations.
For more information you can contact our office 283-6900

CNN posted an episode of Go There.
January 18 at 4:45 PM ·
Go There heads to rural Montana and Texas, where small clinics overwhelmed by the pandemic prepare to face another challenge: receiving and distributing vaccines.
For hard-to-access clinics, the virus has brought on unique challenges – from health care workers being forced to drive long distances to administer them, to a severe impact in distribution capabilities if there is even one positive Covid-19 test amongst medical staff. CNN reports.
Be sure to keep yout vaccination card
Lincoln County Health Department
January 26 at 5:00 PM ·
When you get your first COVID-19 vaccination, you’ll be given a vaccination record card which includes your name, vaccine manufacturer and a reminder of when to get your second shot. Do not lose your card! If you do, you’ll likely experience a delay when you arrive for your second vaccination, as staff will be required to look up your information.
For more information on what to expect before and after vaccination, head to https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/expect.html.
Guard your card! #CDC #lincolncountyhealthdepartment #COVID19
