The COVID-19 vaccine rollout is going slower in Otter Tail County than it is in other areas because it is home to more people who qualify for the first round of the dose, officials said during the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioner meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
“We have a high volume of congregate care,” said county Public Health Director Jody Lien. “We’re very residential rich. Some counties don’t even have a hospital in their jurisdiction. ”
