Community Is Reminded Not to Share Registration Links for Scheduled Community Vaccination Appointments

Grand Forks, N.D. - Members of the Grand Forks community are reminded not to share registration links for scheduled community vaccination appointments with others. Grand Forks Public Health and Altru will be canceling all appointments for individuals that do not fit the criteria of 75+, and 65-74 with two high-risk medical conditions and will be adding them to the waitlist for when we reach their tier. Appointments will continue to run as scheduled for those who do qualify for Tier 1 & 2 of Phase 1B.

The Grand Forks scheduled community vaccination appointments will only be scheduled through our community waitlist. Through this process, you will be contacted for scheduling exclusively through Altru. You should not use links that are received from friends, family members, or coworkers. Those who are eligible are contacted from Altru and can only use the registration link themselves. However, they should not share the link with others.

The City of Grand Forks, the Grand Forks Public Health Department, and Altru are currently vaccinating Tier 1 & 2 of Phase 1B of the North Dakota Department of Health plan:

• Persons age 75 and older
• Persons age 65 – 74 with two or more high-risk medical conditions*
