GF vaccination progress measured one shot at a time

Grand Forks health officials are planning to increase outreach efforts in the coming weeks to promote vaccination against the coronavirus.  Health Director Deb Swanson says all shots are all spoken for at today’s (Wednesday) clinic at Alerus Center – and a good crowd is expected on Saturday.   Swanson says the numbers start to taper off next week as more people find available vaccine – or are unsure if they want the shot.  “We are also getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in greater supply.  We have 900 doses to administer on Saturday and one-thousand goes to UND so that students can be fully vaccinated before they leave campus.”

Around 40,000 doses of vaccine have been administered in Grand Forks County.
