WORTHINGTON Sanford Worthington Medical Center, a regional hub for Pfizer vaccine distribution, along with Nobles County Public Health, are now at a standstill in the process of getting COVID-19 vaccine into the awaiting arms of an anxious public.
Both facilities reported this week that they have no vaccine available.
Nobles County Public Health received its first doses of the Moderna vaccine Dec. 28 and began vaccinations the next day, according to Michelle Ebbers, Community Health Services Administrator. Ten staff members have been helping with the vaccination process, spending three days a week for the past four weeks to administer the vaccine.

WORTHINGTON ― Pfizer vaccines for COVID-19 arrived in Minnesota last week and the state reserved the first phase of vaccinations for health care workers, including staff at Sanford Worthington Medical Center.
Prior to vaccination, each staff member was asked to read information from the hospital and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration explaining how the vaccine works and who is eligible to receive it. This is the same information the average member of the public will receive when vaccines are available for everyone.

A University of Minnesota study of COVID-19 in grocery store workers could help solve vexing questions about the true spread of the infectious disease and guide state strategies to slow it down before the vaccine is broadly available.
Public health Prof. Craig Hedberg is recruiting 1,000 grocers from across Minnesota to mail self-collected blood samples to see if they contain antibodies in response to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Patterns in the positive results by worker type and geographic location will offer important clues, he said. Understanding patterns of community spread and understanding what prevention measures seem to be effective at helping to limit that spread are going to remain important for the next months and probably the next couple years, Hedberg said.
