Inside Olmsted County's first mass vaccination clinic

Inside Olmsted County's first mass vaccination clinic

This week on the Rochester Rundown, we head to the RCTC Fieldhouse, where things have been quieter than normal thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic — until now.

Olmsted County Public Health, with assistance from Mayo Clinic and Olmsted Medical Center, has taken over the space for the next two days, with the goal of giving out 2,300 vaccines to some of the last Phase 1A health care workers still waiting on a vaccination. We hear from the person in charge of this weekend's clinic, and find out what his team will take from this clinic to use for larger events in the future.

Plus, a recap of a packed School Board meeting, which saw the resignation of Superintendent Michael Muñoz and the approval of two new learning models — signaling an eventual end to distance learning in Rochester.
