PIERRE, S.D. – Fire service personnel and critical infrastructure workers in South Dakota will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine beginning Monday.
Health officials say the critical infrastructure sectors include water and wastewater, energy, finance, food service, food and agriculture, legal, manufacturing, shelter and housing, transportation and logistics, information technology and communications.
South Dakota is still one of the nation’s leaders in vaccinations, according to Secretary of Health Kim Malsam-Rysdon, adding that the state should be ahead of President Joe Biden’s timeline to ensure all Americans have access to the vaccine by May 1.
