Signup now for Pfizer vaccine appts. Friday-Saturday in Winona

A Winona COVID-19 vaccination clinic is now accepting appointments for April 2-3.

The clinic will be using the Pfizer vaccine. Those who get the vaccine must be available 21 days later for the second dose.

Winona County does not regularly receive the Pfizer vaccine, and this is the only way a second dose can be guaranteed.

Along with the Winona clinic, Mayo in La Crosse is also accepting appointments (click here for that info).

Those at highest risk will have priority in Winona but anyone that falls into categories below for Minnesota is encouraged to sign up. If you do not fall into those categories, do not sign up.
