The South Dakota Department of Health announced the statewide move to Phase 2 of the state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan beginning Monday (April 5).
Vaccines will be made available to any state resident, 16 years and older. Persons from Phase 1 who have not yet been vaccinated are still eligible to do so.
Secretary of Health Kim Malsam-Rysdon says without a doubt, this is testament to the hard work and dedication of frontline workers, healthcare and pharmacy partners and the staff at the Department of Health. She says South Dakota remains a leader in vaccination efforts, at both the regional and national level. As of March 31, 2021, 43% of the state population had received at least 1-dose and over 28% of the state’s population has completed their full series.
