COVID-19 Vaccines Expected to Arrive in the Quad Cities This Week
The Quad Cities can expect the first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine this week.
According to KWQC, the Rock Island Health Department will get 1,000 doses and the Scott County Health Department will receive 2,000 doses. Each health department will distribute vaccines between Genesis Health Systems and UnityPoint-Trinity.
Health experts are stressing the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine and say when it's our time to receive the shot we can expect some side effects like headache, chills, or fever. Those side effects should dissipate in a day or two.
Experts are recommending the vaccine and say even if a person is healthy, the vaccine protects you and others.
