VERMILLION, S.D. (WNAX) – Dealing with COVID-19 infections and patients have put a strain on most health care providers.

Tim Tracy, senior director of Sanford Vermillion Hospital, says there is some optimism now.

Tracy says they have given out all the vaccine doses they have received.

Tracy says they haven’t been overloaded with Covid patients during the pandemic.

The “1-D” vaccination group is opening this week, but that will all depend on the doses available.
