Mass vaccination Riverside

This distribution facility in the Horizons Industrial Park in Riverside will be the site of mass vaccination events run by the Platte County Health Department this week, Tuesday through Thursday. Address of the location is 4400 NW 41st St., Riverside. Natalie Klaus, public information officer for the health department, said: “We will be set up in the large warehouse, so if you see a loading dock you are in the right place. There will be lots of signage as well.” The Horizons Industrial Park developer made a donation to assist the health department in securing some of the equipment, supplies and other resources to get the facility up and running. Other municipalities, such as Riverside and Parkville, have offered support in the way of public workers to assist with things such as set up. On Monday of this week, the Platte County Emergency Management division of the Platte County Sheriff’s Office contracted with a firm to serve as the volunteer coordinator for mass vaccination operations of the health department.
