COVID-19 vaccine update
More kids eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine
Following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, the Minnesota Department of Health has recommended that children ages 5-11 are now eligible to receive an age-appropriate dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Welia Health will work closely with area schools and public health entities about how to schedule an appointment and/or how to register for a community-wide vaccination clinic within the coming weeks.

In case you missed it
Beware of phone scams
Welia Health has been notified that our primary clinic number, 320.679.1313, was recently used in a potential Medicare scam. This number was spoofed and some patients have been asked for their Medicare number or been pressured to purchase unauthorized medical equipment. Any call originating from Welia Health will always show on caller ID as 320.225.3560. If someone calls you from ANY other number claiming to represent Welia Health, it is a scam and you should hang up. Learn what you can do to protect yourself.
Recent changes to visitor guidelines
Due to the rise of COVID-19 positive cases in our communities, Welia Health has changed its visitor guidelines to limit visitors, including children, and require masks in its facilities. Read the updated guidelines.
