Area educators, part of “phase 1b,” are receiving COVID-19 vaccinations.
Pine River-Backus School District staff will begin getting shots Thursday, Feb. 4, and Pequot Lakes School District staff benefited from extra vaccines for 116 shots that were administered Thursday, Jan. 21.

“In that effort, we found out on Monday (Jan. 18) that each district was allocated to just a handful of vaccinations. We had six, Pine River had five.

Sanford, Essentia join forces on COVID-19 vaccine center
January 19, 2021
FARGO (KVRR) – Sanford Medical Center will be joined by Essentia Health and Cass County Public Health in launching a centralized COVID-19 vaccination center.
Sanford Vice-President, Dr. Doug Griffin, says beginning Wednesday, the vaccination center will be open in the former Gordman’s Department Store building.
“We really think this will, particularly as we anticipate and ramp up getting more vaccine, a nice access point to vaccinate thousands of people in the area” Griffin said.
Griffin said because there is a “very limited supply” of vaccine available, the center is open by invitation only for those currently eligible to be vaccinated.
