If you feel ill, please stay home if you can to avoid getting others sick.

This will help control the spread of the virus.

COVID VACCINES:

The Red Lake Hospital is continuing to provide COVID vaccines to the general public. This can be done at the drive-thru building by the hospital. Parents/Guardians can sign a permission slip for their 16 & 17 year olds to receive a vaccine. An incentive of a $30 gift card, per dose, for Tribal members and descendants will be provided and can be used at the Red Lake Trading Post or the Ponemah Market.

Vaccines are available from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. by calling 218-679-3912, and press 1.

The COVID vaccine is another form of protection for you. And, it is still requested that you take all the safety precautions to protect yourself including wearing a face mask, social distancing and hand washing.
