As Minnesota begins the first portion of a state-wide vaccine rollout plan, members of the Gustavus community work tirelessly to establish a vaccination plan for the Gustavus community. Jessica Braun, Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Vaccine Coordinator, is working alongside the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Nicollet County Public Health in order to ensure the utmost level of safety at Gustavus.
“Vaccination priorities are set by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). Gustavus is working closely with MDH to identify individuals on campus who meet those parameters. The challenge that exists is that there is not enough vaccine supply to meet the current demand. As production of vaccines ramps up and/or more vaccine options become available, more individuals will be able to be vaccinated,” Jessica Braun said.

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) Nine counties across Minnesota will soon begin a COVID-19 vaccination pilot program, and North Mankato will host one of those sites.
Just hours after registration opened Tuesday, demand far outpaced the doses available. But health officials want you to know the point of this pilot program is not to vaccinate every person over age 65.
“This is not a true mass vaccine clinic,” Nicollet County Public Health and Human Services Director Cassandra Sassenberg said. “It’s really intended to get started, but really to learn.”
