FAIRMONT With COVID-19 vaccines slowly becoming available, there are a lot of questions as to how distribution works on a local level. According to information provided by Community Health sanitarian Tim Langer of Community Health and Human Services of Faribault and Martin Counties, there is a very limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine in Minnesota. Langer notes that while questions persist, there must be patience.
“The emphasis really is on patience, because we’ve only received a very limited amount of vaccines at this point, and it’s been going to those people in the 1A category,” Langer said. “Over the next month or two I think we’ll hopefully reach the point where everybody who wants to get vaccinated can get vaccinated.”
