WINONA, Minn. – The Winona hospital has been promised 600 Pfizer Co-Vid vaccine doses this week. Rachelle Schultz, chief executive, said the doses are reserved for wait-listed priority persons in a 75-and-older group and then wait-listed for persons 65 and up with multiple chronic conditions. “Those are the most at-risk folks,” Schultz said in a radio KWNO interview. Schultz has been frustrated with previous vaccine commitments that never arrived. Those delays she blamed on cold weather. This time, she said, she’s confident the doses will arrive and by Thursday at the latest.
