Ridgeview COVID-19 Vaccine Wait List

Ridgeview will offer whichever vaccine it has been allotted and is available.
When supply allows, those eligible under state and federal guidelines will be contacted from the list when and if a vaccine is available for them.

After you complete the Vaccine Wait List form

Following your completion of Ridgeview’s vaccine wait list form and when vaccine is available, you will receive an email invitation from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) vaccine scheduling tool Prepmod - no-reply@multistatep4p.com – to schedule an appointment at an upcoming, appointment-only Ridgeview vaccination event in Waconia.

How do I prepare for my Ridgeview vaccination appointment?

Ridgeview staff administering vaccine will not be providing screening nor providing any clinical guidance about the vaccine. If you have questions about the vaccine, please contact Ridgeview's COVID-19 triage center at 952-442-7814.

People scheduled for vaccination appointments need to bring a driver’s license or other form of identification and wear a mask upon arrival to the vaccination clinic.

Due to limited parking and waiting areas, please arrive at your scheduled time.
After receiving the vaccine, each person will receive a COVID vaccination card (documentation of vaccination type and dose).
All vaccinated persons must be monitored for 15 minutes for potential adverse reaction before departing.
Ridgeview will have EMS (Emergency Medical Service) staff on site at its vaccination clinic.

For additional information about COVID-19 vaccines and eligibility, visit the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) website.

Please do not contact your provider or provider's office with questions regarding vaccine availability or eligibility as we are awaiting information from the state. We will contact eligible patients as vaccines become available.
