Welia Health offers vaccines to people 65 and older
As part of a joint effort with Kanabec County Community Health, Welia Health will be offering a COVID-19 vaccine clinic from 8am–2pm on Friday, January 29.
Please note, vaccines are available by appointment only. Appointments are limited at this time due to the limited supply of doses allocated from the State of Minnesota.
Who’s eligible now?
- Minnesotans ages 65 and over
If you’re 65 or older, follow five easy steps to get your COVID-19 vaccine.
1. Schedule an appointment

2. Check in at the Welia Center
- On the day of your appointment, arrive and check in at the Welia Center (formerly the Community Wellness Center), located at 200 N 9th St, Mora, no earlier than 15 minutes prior to your appointment. This will help ensure social distancing. Remember, masks are required.
- Bring a current ID.

3. Get your shot!

- Thank you for helping to stop the spread of COVID-19!
4. Relax for 15 minutes
- Following your vaccination, you will need to sit for 15 minutes to ensure you do not experience an allergic reaction.
- If you have a history of allergic reactions, you will need to sit for 30 minutes for observation.
- During the observation period, a representative will schedule your second dose 21 days or 28 days from the date of your first dose, depending upon which vaccine you receive.
5. Review COVID-19 information flyers
- Before you leave, you’ll receive an FAQ flyer from either Pfizer BioNTech or Moderna, and another called, What to Expect After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine, outlining common side effects and steps to keep yourself and others safe.
If you think you might be having an allergic reaction, go to a hospital or call 9-1-1. If you have side effects that do not go away after a few days, call your primary care provider at 320.679.1313.
