The South Dakota Department of Health has released an online assistance form for K-12 schools, colleges & universities, congregate living centers, businesses and community/faith based organizations to request help in hosting a COVID-19 vaccination event, in partnership with a local vaccine provider.
This tool is in addition to the already available county-by-county map linking residents to vaccination administration sites.
Secretary of Health Kim Malsam-Rysdon says choosing to get vaccinated is the best way to combat COVID-19, for both individuals and communities, and more shots-in-arms will result in a quicker path out of this pandemic. She says in addition to the many places people can already receive a vaccine, working with local leaders is key to making vaccines available to all who want them.
Organizations looking to host a local vaccination event can fill out a secure online request form. Interested groups will be asked questions about their organization, location, contact information and any needs for carrying out a vaccination event. After submitting the form, the organization will be paired by the SDDOH with a local COVID-19 vaccine provider who will help the group host the event(s). The form is intended for groups who have 40 or more members interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
