COVID-19 vaccine

  • 03/17/2021

The COVID-19 vaccination rollout is underway. Each week, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) sends the vaccine to large community vaccination sites, clinics, hospitals and other health care providers.

You can stay updated on who can get the vaccine and where to get vaccinated on the MDH About COVID-19 vaccine website.

Vaccine locator

MDH has a new COVID-19 locator map that connects people to vaccination locations. Enter your zip code or city to find a provider near you. While the map is currently for seniors, it will expand as more Minnesotans become eligible.
