County to receive ultra-cold storage for COVID-19 vaccine

An ultra-cold storage unit to house shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine is on the way, according to Winneshiek County Public Health (WCPH) Director Krista Vanden Brink.
“The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) contacted Sean (Snyder, Winneshiek County Emergency Management) to see if we would accept a unit,” said Vanden Brink. “Adjacent counties don’t have that capability, so we feel pretty lucky.”
Vanden Brink delivered the news at the Monday, Dec. 14 Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors meeting.
According to Snyder, the unit will arrive at WCPH, designated as an Incident Command Center for the pandemic, by the end of the week.
