Perham Health’s Dr. Kailey Witt, Chief of Staff, was a recent guest on Lakes 99.5’s Talk of the Town. She and Lakes 99.5 Host, Dave Howey, talked about the safety, process, and goals of the COVID-19 vaccines and the impact on Perham and Otter Tail County.
Where can we sign up for the vaccine?
Although planning for vaccine distribution is still in the works, here’s what we know. Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and local public health are in the process of developing a fair and strategic plan for rolling out the vaccine as quickly and efficiently as possible. MDH will determine when and where certain people can get vaccinated. In response to the recent announcement from the Minnesota Department of Health that persons age 65 plus are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, Perham Health is preparing to offer the vaccine to that age group as soon as supply allows. We will notify patients through My Chart when they can make an appointment to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Patients without My Chart will be notified by mail.
