MCHENRY - It was announced on February 19 that City of McHenry leaders would officially be turning over a vacant building located at 1900 N Richmond Road, to the McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH), that same Friday afternoon.
McHenry County Board Chairman Mike Buehler, R-Crystal Lake, lauded the city and its volunteers for braving the snow and less than desirable freezing temperatures, to convert the building into a mass vaccination facility in only 11 days.
“The amount of vaccine that McHenry County has been receiving has been far short of what we need, but once supply comes closer to meeting the enormous demand, we’ll be ready to ramp up, thanks to the hard work and generosity of the people of McHenry,” Buehler said, who based on the press release, has formally requested for more doses to be allocated to McHenry County.
