ND to get $14.6 million for COVID-19 vaccination efforts

By Doug Barrett Apr 7, 2021 | 8:47 AM

North Dakota will receive more than $14.6 million in federal aid to expand access to coronavirus vaccine, particularly among minorities. The funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is part of $3 billion being distributed across the country for vaccination efforts. The CDC says most of the money must go to support local health departments and community-based organizations, and be used for efforts intended to increase vaccine access among minority populations.  Officials say that might include training people to conduct door-to-door vaccine outreach and help people sign up for shot appointments.
