The state started rolling out vaccines to school districts Monday, Jan. 18, but there was a limited supply. In Crow Wing County, that meant Brainerd Public Schools qualified for 20 doses, while Pequot Lakes got six, and Crosby-Ironton got five. But later a call brought the news that more vaccine would be available. Photo illustration Metro Newspaper Service
