Elkhart County’s new health officer, Dr. Bethany Wait, said the health department’s vaccination effort for individuals age 80 and older is now underway.
Wait said the health department began administering its first doses on Monday, Jan. 11, and will have given over 250 shots by the end of the day Tuesday.
She said depending on state guidelines and the county’s vaccine allotment, more groups could soon be eligible for the vaccine.
