VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – City County Health District Administrator Theresa Will addressed the issue of inaccurate information concerning the COVID-19 vaccine. She said the vaccine will NOT change your DNA, it is NOT going to inject microchips into your body, the vaccine cannot cause you to get COVID-19.

Will said the vaccine is a protein which your body will produce antibodies against, in a similar manner as vaccines have been doing for years. She said we are currently waiting for more details as to the exact priority groups to receive the vaccine first.

She said Phase 1A will be going to healthcare workers and long term care residents, Phase 1B will be for essential workers and Phase 1 C will be for people 65 and older or those with underlying health conditions.

For those with questions about COVID-19 call the North Dakota Department of Health Hotline at 1-866-207-2880.
