What happens when some pharmacies have more COVID-19 vaccine than arms to put it in? An Elk River pharmacist proposes changing how doses are manufactured, "I think we’re past the point of mass vaccination clinics." Author: Jennifer Hoff (KARE 11) Published: 6:13 PM CDT April 23, 2021 Updated: 6:18 PM CDT April 23, 2021 The Minnesota Department of Health is reporting 54% of people statewide have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Local pharmacists are playing a big part in its distribution. But what happens when they have more vaccine than arms to put it in? For example, the MDH vaccine dashboard shows 34% of people have gotten their first vaccine dose in Sherburne County. That's down sometimes as much as 10% compared to neighboring counties. Anoka and Wright Counties are reporting 44%, while Hennepin County is reporting 61%. Benton County is reporting 32%.
