An important announcement from Webster County Public Health.In light of information from the CDC and Iowa Department of Public Health, Webster County Health Department is canceling Johnson & Johnson vaccine clinics until further notice.
All individuals registered for Wednesday's vaccine clinic will receive a cancellation text message.
The CDC and FDA along with IDPH have called for a pause in use of Johnson & Johnson vaccines after six women between the ages of 18 and 48 were found to have a rare type of blood clot following vaccination.
According to a joint statement from the CDC and FDA, 'these adverse events appear to be extremely rare. COVID-19 vaccine safety is a top priority for the federal government, and we take all reports of health problems following COVID-19 vaccination very seriously. People who have received the J&J vaccine who develop severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain, or shortness of breath within three weeks after vaccination should contact their health care provider.'
WCHD will continue to accept allocations of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines from IDPH and will plan for future clinics.
'We want residents to receive a vaccination against COVID-19,' said Kari Prescott, WCHD director. 'We will continue to assess Webster County and continue to canvas our communities to ensure that everyone that wants to be vaccinated has the opportunity to safely do so.'
According to Prescott, WCHD will accept future incoming allocations of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines based on community and county need.

**RO PLANT UPDATE**
We had hoped to have the RO plant partially up and running today. Due to unexpected (but totally normal) start up issues, we are now targeting a full start up on Thursday.
Like and follow City of Fort Dodge Government for more information. We'll make an official announcement here when the RO plant goes live.
Do you know anything about water pressure being reduced at some point in the last year or so? Did these new meters reduce pressure or have the ability to do such?
