The Marshall County Commissioners considered a grant application request this week submitted by Health Nurse Lisa Letsinger for the Moderna Vaccination Outreach Project.
The state has a surplus of the vaccine and health departments are encouraged to obtain more of the vaccine to vaccinate as many people as possible. The Marshall County Health Department would provide the vaccine with additional clerks and Registered Nurses to help administer the additional vaccines in supplemental clinics to children.
Letsinger asked to apply for a grant worth $14,040 including 800 doses of the Moderna vaccine. The vaccine would remain free to residents.
The commissioners approved the grant application request with a unanimous vote.
