According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, Warren County has provided a total of 14,244 vaccine doses to the public, with 5,287 completing their two-dose series of the vaccine, and 3,845 with the single dose initiated waiting on a second shot.
Warren County Health Services says the second shot of the vaccine boosts your immune system to better protect against the virus, and it’s important to get the same brand of vaccine, either Pfizer or Moderna, as the first. The type of shot will be written on the vaccine card from the first appointment.
The Iowa Department of Public Health shows no Long Term Care Outbreaks in the county, and shows one additional death from the virus since the latest update. Warren County has had 80 deaths overall, with 71 having the virus as the underlying cause, and nine with the virus as a contributing factor.
