County creates Covid hotline, messages

Carlton County Public Health and Human Services is working with state and federal agencies on vaccine distribution. Residents can call for updates and ask questions at 218-499-6312. A message will share relevant information about the vaccine and an option to talk to a person. County officials are not collecting a list of community members for the vaccine. It is working with employers within the identified vaccination groups on vaccine distribution. They will continue to work through the priority groups until they are able to vaccinate the broader community not included in the initial vaccination phases.
