CARRINGTON, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – COVID-19 vaccines in Foster County are continuing in the Phase 1B category.

Earlier this month, organizations in Foster County wrapped up Tier 1A for vaccinations. This includes critical care staff and physicians, ER staff, hospitals, primary care nursing, and others. Carrington Drug Owner Matt Paulson says they’ve now moved to Phase 1B.

North Dakota has been receiving approximately 10,000 vaccine doses every week, which is then distributed to counties in the state. Paulson is encouraging patience from those waiting for their turn in the vaccination tiers.

He says you can contact your preferred provider to be put on a waiting list to receive the vaccine when it becomes available.

Tier 1B of the vaccination schedule includes home health staff and hospice, general surgeons, inpatient pharmacy, and patient transport.

Providers in Foster County include:

Carrington Drug – 701-652-2521
Foster County Public Health – 701-652-3087
