Richland County Health Department is in the process of setting up COVID-19 vaccination clinics. Local healthcare providers may be serving different age groups/phases at different times, based on vaccine availability and state direction. As vaccine becomes available, Richland County residents will be able to register and schedule a time to receive their COVID-19 vaccine by going to the following website https://vaccinereg.health.nd.gov/ . The website will indicate which age groups/phases of Richland County residents are eligible to receive the vaccine at a scheduled location.
We are requesting that individuals seek assistance from family or friends with registration if they are unable to complete the registration themselves. If individuals are unable to physically leave their home to receive the vaccine, they can call Richland County Health Department at 701-642-7735.
