NCPHD Asks Ineligible People Not To Seek Vaccines

North Central Public Health District says it has had a number of people coming to COVID-19 vaccine clinics who do not meet any current eligibility criteria.  The health district is asking people who have made appointments for their first dose but do not meet current eligibility guidelines to cancel their appointments.  The health district will begin checking eligibility for those coming to the clinics and will turn away anyone who does not meet criteria.  In a statement, the district said it is getting relatively few vaccines each week and a growing number of senior citizens who are currently eligible and seeking the vaccine, so in fairness to them, ineligible people will be turned away.   Currently eligible groups include first responders, healthcare workers, educators, childcare providers and, as of Monday, those 65 and older.
