Here's When You Might Get Your COVID-19 Vaccine in MN

Wondering when you may be able to get your COVID-19 vaccine? Here's a chart from the State of Minnesota that lays it all out.

As more vaccine arrives in The land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota is laying out a path to vaccinate all Minnesotans. Governor Tim Walz announced yesterday that Minnesota will vaccinate at least 70% of Minnesotans age 65 years and older before expanding eligibility to other groups, and aims to reach the 70% goal by the end of March.

Once 70% of the state’s seniors have received the vaccine, Minnesota will expand eligibility based on underlying health conditions and workplace exposure risk. According to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the state will move forward with phases of vaccine eligibility based on science, medical evidence, and federal guidance.

As vaccine supply increases, it will become easier than ever to get a shot. Until then, it’s important to take easy steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.

After you’ve had your shot, continue following these safe practices to protect your neighbors while they wait for their vaccine.

It looks like I will be a 'Summer' guy when it comes to getting a vaccine. Stay healthy my friend.
