Morgan County Health Department

Thank you for your questions. Appointments are always recommended but not required for immunization services. While COVID boosters are currently available to anyone 12+ years old, we will not have flu shots available until our Flu Bowl at the JHS Bowl on October 6-7. For more information on walk-in hours of availability or to schedule an appointment for a COVID Booster, please visit https://www.morganhd.com/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine

Contraceptive services, including the Depo-Provera shot are available by appointment only through our Family Planning Program. Please call our office during normal business hours for more information. Thank you.

Thank you for your question. In Morgan County we are vaccinating county residents age 75 and older. Other vaccine eligible individuals who work in Morgan County, but live elsewhere should contact their employer for information vaccine distribution for their sector. We will continue to implement a phased approach to providing this service as more vaccine and the resources to administer it become available.

Residents within Morgan County who are 75 years and older can now register for the COVID vaccine. Please call 217-479-1817 to register. Call on the weekdays from 9am to 4pm. The phone will not be answered on the weekends or holidays. You have to be registered for the vaccine. No onsite registration will be allowed. We will be working through the age groups as the vaccine becomes available. We will be keeping our local radio and newspaper updated as well as our website. Our website is morganhd.com.

Thank you for your inquiry. There is currently no waiting list for people wanting the vaccine. Vaccine is being distributed in a phased approach according to IDPH, CDC and government guidelines. We are currently in phase 1a which includes healthcare workers and nursing home residents. More information on this strategy is available here: https://www.dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccination-plan When we have enough vaccine on hand and we are able to move to another phase we will announce when it is available via all social media and local media outlets.

Katt, Thank you so much for your question. The answer from our nurse Cindy is correct. You can save time by printing your immunization forms from our website and filling them out before you visit us. Don't forget to call your insurance company, before you come, and ask: 1) Do they cover all of the recommended vaccinations for your child 2) If the Morgan County Health Department is "in-network" for your plan. Please bring your child's insurance card with you when you come to visit us. We look forward to serving you and your family!

Yes. Please bring his immunization records and insurance card if he has one.
