Public Health will continue to schedule clinics as soon as they get the confirmation of the weekly shipments. They will continue to be held at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
Through their experiences Public Health and HCMH has learned the best and fastest way to move people through the process. During the day/time of an appointment those with an appointment are asked to enter the south gate at the fairgrounds.
Traffic is preferred to from the east on 6th Avenue North to eliminating a backup of cars on 5th Street North. From there hospital staff will guide traffic.
Those with questions are encouraged to contact Humboldt County Public Health at 515-332-2492. HCMH and Public Health appreciate the public for their patience and understanding throughout the process.
