JAMESTOWN, N.D. (CVHD) – Central Valley Health District (CVHD) provided a total of 950 COVID vaccinations this week.

This put the total vaccinations given by CVHD since December 2020 to over 5,500 vaccinations administered. To date, a combined total of 8,807 vaccinations have been given in the county by the enrolled providers including public health, pharmacies, congregate living agencies, and other healthcare facilities.

“23.2% of the population in Stutsman County have been vaccinated with at least one dose of the COVID vaccine,” reports Robin Iszler, CVHD Unit Administrator.

COVID vaccinations continue to be increasingly available to those in North Dakota. Currently, CVHD is vaccinating anyone in priority group Phase 1C, which includes all essential workers and people 18 and older at increased risk for COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently updated the guidance for those who are fully vaccinated, which can be found at http://bit.ly/3bE8pp6.

CVHD will be offering a first dose COVID vaccination clinic for those in priority group Phase 1C next week on Tuesday, March 16, from 10:00am – 2:00pm at the Jamestown Civic Center in the Exchequer Room.

Appointments are required. To register for an appointment, visit the CVHD website at www.centralvalleyhealth.org and click the “COVID-19” tab.
