One pharmacy said vaccinations were available by online appointment only — too daunting for her limited computer skills. To her, the process felt almost like "a secret."
“That was the frustrating part,” Helgeson said.
Then came a Facebook post from someone who could help.
Vicki Haugen of Rollag, Minn., and her cousin, Amy Eriksmoen of Fargo, have been securing vaccinations for seniors who aren’t technologically savvy.
The women figure they’ve assisted more than 50 people, some they don’t even know.
The recipients include a couple in their 90s who have no cell phone or computer at home, and a person waiting for an organ transplant.

FARGO — Danielle Walleen, a nurse with Sanford Health, received her first dose of COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday, Jan. 20, shortly after the new community vaccination center opened in the former Gordmans store in south Fargo.
"It wasn't the worst thing I ever felt," Walleen said of the vaccine shot, adding that she wasn't hesitant to receive a vaccine to protect herself from COVID-19 because in her job she sees "first hand what it can do to people."
