Cape County commissioners approve vaccine for county and city employees

At its Thursday meeting the Cape Girardeau County Commission approved a motion to allow county and city employees to receive one-shot doses of tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis vaccine free of charge on June 1.

The vaccinations will be provided by the Cape Girardeau County Public Health Center, which obtained extra doses. The vaccine is indicated for people who have filled sandbags or worked within flooded areas, who are at a higher risk of puncture wound injuries due to these activities.
