Allina Health wraps up COVID-19 vaccination site in Golden Valley

[CCX News, May 28, 2021] Allina Health has announced it will end its mass vaccination site at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute in Golden Valley.

Nearly 1,000 people a day received doses at the site when vaccinations started back in January. It has since dropped to about 150 people a day. Allina Health says it’s shifting the vaccinations away from mass sites and back to primary care clinics.

“Where we are now is our mass hubs are not needed for that amount of patients in a day because we’ve saturated that market,” said Maggie Borer, director of nursing at Allina Health. “We still have vaccines available in all of our primary care clinics. We have all three vaccines and we’re able to incorporate those sites to be able to do the quantity that’s left for our population.”
