Vaccination Clinic
Appleton Area Health (AAH) successfully distributed 418 COVID-19 vaccinations to area residents ages 65 and older last week.
Governor Tim Walz rolled out a plan on Monday, February 1, intended to “jumpstart” the state’s COVID-19 vaccination program with an emphasis on getting people over the age of 65 inoculated. “We were notified Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. that we would be getting 400 vaccines,” said AAH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Lori Andreas. “Once you receive the vaccines, the requirement was that we get 90% of the vaccines in the arms of patients in 72 hours and 100% in 7 days.”
