MARSHALL —Â The first of hundreds of planned COVID-19 vaccines will be administered at a Marshall pilot site starting this week.
State and local organizers are preparing for people with vaccination appointments to start arriving at Marshall Middle School on Friday and Saturday.
Southwest Health and Human Services Public Health Director Carol Biren said preparing for the pilot program in Marshall was an “all hands on deck” situation. While the state and the Minnesota National Guard are playing key roles in running the vaccination events, Biren said area public health, Lyon County Emergency Management, Avera Marshall Medical Center, and local volunteers are all involved as well.
