Joint vaccine clinic on Thursday
Tri-County Health Care and Wadena Public Health will be hosting a joint vaccine clinic at the Maslowski Research & Wellness Center on Mar. 25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Scheduled appointments have resulted in minimal wait times. There is a 15-minute observation period following a vaccination.
These vaccinations will target current priority groups in phase 1b tier 2, including people with health conditions such as sickle cell, down syndrome, cancer and various other debilitating health problems. This tier also targets high-risk essential food processing workers.
Additionally, vaccinations will target phase 1b tier 3, which includes people age 45-64 that have at least one underlying medical condition. It also includes individuals age 16-44 with two or more underlying health conditions. Additionally, phase 1b tier 3 includes essential workers in agriculture, corrections, food-related services, and manufacturing.

Registration is required. Use Google Chrome when registering. Use the following links to schedule your vaccine appointment:
- WCPH: https://prepmod.health.state.mn.us//reg/0815762290 – Moderna
- TCHC: https://prepmod.health.state.mn.us//reg/5981600622 – Pfizer
Health officials would like to remind everyone that it is unwise to wait for a specific vaccine to be offered, such as Johnson & Johnson. Vaccination sites do not get to select which vaccine they receive and all vaccines offered are proven to be effective against COVID-19.
If you are in phase 1a, 65+ or E-12 or are a childcare provider, please contact Wadena Public Health at 631-7629.
