Information on COVID-19 Vaccine distribution for Mayo Clinic patients

I was just listening to MPR and a speaker said small counties sometimes have more vaccine than they can use quickly due to distribution quirks and are able to offer to others outside the "list" - maybe a call to the county health departmetn coud get you on the radar due to living with essential workers?

I was able to receive the first vaccine via Mayo as I am a transplant pt. It was given on 1/7/21.
@sueinmn - the present administration says that it's going to release vaccine deliveries and that anyone over the age of 65 and those with compromised immunity will be included. I hope this comes through, for all of us!
Maybe I could try that as it is nearly impossible to get past a nurse on the portal at Sanford.....thanks😊

Sue, you know, I really think we need to keep in touch with our county health depts. it seems they are the distribution folks once the vaccine gets to the state. but, they don't have ability to keep temps proper for long, so need to get rid of vaccine fast. Also, I just saw on news the fed gov't, HHS-Asar?, released more vaccine and lowered the age to 65! apparently they have enough vaccine for 2nd shots, so are comfortable sending out more. might be important for folks to ck health depts - stae and county and hospitals to find out their system.
What a journey we're on! Blessings to all....Elizabeth
