Minnesota Launches Vaccine Connector to Notify People When They Are Eligible For Vaccine

COVID-19, COVID-19 Daily Update February 22, 2021

Over 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Minnesota since December.
 
And now, there’s a new state tool that Gov. Tim Walz says will help Minnesotans find out where, when and how they can get vaccinated once they become eligible.
 
 The tool is called the Vaccine Connector, and Walz says it’s the next step in the state’s vaccination strategy. Here he is in a recent press conference, where he had many positive things to say.
 
“Supply is still limited… the good news is those most vulnerable, 65 and above, we’ve vaccinated about 50% of those. We’re seeing almost no cases in long-term care facilities,” said Walz.
 
Despite a positive outlook at this point in the pandemic, health officials still urge the public to be safe, wear masks and social distance.
 
All Minnesotans who haven’t been vaccinated are encouraged to sign up for the Vaccine Connector, no matter their current eligibility status. Minnesotans can sign up over the phone at 833-431-2053, or online at vaccineconnector.mn.gov. 
 
When Minnesotans become eligible to get the vaccine, the Vaccine Connector will help them figure out when, where and how to get the vaccine, utilizing the state’s network of local pharmacies, hospitals and vaccination sites.
