CITY OFFERS ASSISTANCE TO HELP EXPEDITE VACCINE DISTRIBUTION
Mayor Gahan says speed is of the essence.

Late last year, the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the City of New Albany. Now, as we anxiously await more doses, Mayor Gahan has offered any and all means necessary to assist the local health officer and expedite distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

“The sooner that we distribute vaccines throughout the City of New Albany, the sooner that we can begin returning to normal,” stated Mayor Gahan. “We are interested in expediting the vaccine and getting it out as quickly as possible to all who need it.”

Local health officer Dr. Tom Harris thanked the city for the offer of assistance, and informed us that the Health Department is anxiously awaiting more doses. The health department anticipates further vaccinations could begin as early as January 11th. As of December 31st, 2020, over 2300 people in Floyd County have been vaccinated.

“We stand ready to assist in any way necessary to help aid in the vaccination of the residents of New Albany and surrounding community,” stated Mayor Gahan.
