JAMESTOWN, N.D. (CVHD) – This week, Central Valley Health District (CVHD) administered 306 first doses of Moderna vaccine and 126 second doses, totaling 432 doses administered.

Due to weather delays in the south, CVHD did not receive the expected shipment of 400 new Moderna doses that were anticipated to be used for a large vaccination clinic. While this did create some headache, CVHD did not have to cancel the scheduled COVID vaccination clinic on Thursday, February 18, due to the gracious assistance they received from Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC).

At this time, CVHD has enough vaccine on hand for a second dose vaccination clinic scheduled for next week, but has not received any confirmation on when new doses of vaccine will arrive resulting in some uncertainty. There is currently no first dose clinics scheduled. If vaccine does arrive, CVHD will release a PSA to notify the public of upcoming vaccination clinics for those interested in their first dose of COVID vaccine.

Currently, CVHD is vaccinating those 65 and older. While there are delays, CVHD does anticipate increased vaccine shipments over coming over the next several weeks. As soon as vaccine arrives, CVHD will open up clinic locations and people can make an appointment on our website at www.centralvalleyhealth.org.

CVHD continues to ask for the public’s patience while we work though the delays and phases for priority groups.
