While Vaccination Rates are staying steady, there has been a slight increase in COVID Testing recently according to one Health Organization.
Alicia Simpson, Operations Manager for Mercy Branson says during a recent interview on KRZK's Ozarks Now, that with school starting and the recent Labor Day Holiday, a spike in COVID numbers has increased the number of people coming to Mercy for testing. Simpson says while vaccinations are not currently available at the Branson Facility, they will be involved in vaccinations once third doses are available.
Simpson also says that one of the challenges is the amount of information available through news sources and social media. Simpson says they do the best the can to help people get educated on the virus and the vaccine when they visit with them during the testing.
Those interested in COVID Testing can come by the facility on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway and 65.
