See below for some recent guidance from the SCHD on the next progression estimations for the COVID-19 Vaccine.
We will continue to share information as it becomes available and look forward to vaccinating our patients as soon as we are able when future phases are released!
Iowa’s Infectious Disease Advisory Council released its Phase 1B guidance. Phase 1B is NOT expected to begin until it is announced by the Iowa Department of Public Health (likely no later than February 1). Due to the limited vaccine supply, the State of Iowa will not be making changes to the age criteria for Phase 1B set by IDAC at this time.
Reminder: we are still in Phase 1A: healthcare workers + long-term care residents.
Do you have questions regarding the COVID-19 vaccine? Please be assured that your team at Main at Locust Pharmacy & Medical Supplies will be providing updates AS SOON as we have more information. For now, please be aware that vaccinations for the general public HAVE NOT been released and are not expected to be allocated any time in December. Hopefully January or February will be the month, fingers crossed!
Up to date information on the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccine in Scott County.

Also Lisa isn't just a pharmacist she also received a culinary degree from Scott Community College while working at the pharmacy.

Thank you to the pharmacists at Main at Locust Pharmacy for compounding medicine for Miss Wickett. At 17 she was trembling with pain that was not controlled on first line veterinary medication . Now, with the right dose of supplemental pain medication she is back to her cheerful, tail wagging self.
