COVID-19 Vaccine Update 1/21/2021
Pine County Public Health is working hard to get vaccine out to eligible individuals as soon as possible and have been busy administering vaccines to those in phase 1a over the course of the past few weeks (health care workers, and residents/staff at long term care facilities). People in phase 1a will hear from their employer, residence or local public health when they can get vaccinated.
It is important to note, there is a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine. More opportunities for vaccination will be coming as the state receives more vaccine. You do not need to contact your provider at this time. They will let patients know when they can start making appointments for COVID-19 vaccine.
We will provide updates here and on our Facebook page on vaccine supply and priority populations as new information becomes available.
