If you meet any one of these criteria, please call (605)-755-1350 to schedule an appointment, they are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, or go to your MyChart account to self-schedule.
After this group, the DOH vaccination criteria will expand to other groups within 1D as vaccine becomes available. The modification in the timeline comes amidst the federal government’s plan to release more vaccines to states and speed up vaccinations nationwide.
