Biden s Ambitious Vaccine Goal Could Mean Funding For Rural Areas
By Maggie Mullen,
President Joe Biden has set a goal to get at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of adults by the Fourth of July. That will mean additional funding and support for rural communities in our region.
Part of the Biden administration’s efforts will involve supporting vaccine education and on-the-ground outreach in rural communities. In our region, rural areas are estimated to have some of the highest vaccine hesitancy rates in the country.
Shawnda Schroeder is a rural health expert. She said every education campaign needs to be matched with easy vaccine access.

GRAND FORKS What started out as a rough experience for a Grand Forks boy has become an unforgettable experience.
10-year-old Aiden Schroeder was recently made fun of by some of his baseball teammates for sporting pink shoes during his first baseball practice of the season.
