COVID Vaccine

U.S. regulators have approved COVID-19 vaccines for kids ages six months to five years old.

Governor Tim Walz announced that all fully-vaccinated Minnesotan adults can now get their booster shots.

Local pediatricians are happy to hear the COVID-19 vaccine will become available for kids ages five to 11-years-old following the Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee's approval earlier this week.

State officials are launching a pilot program at nine locations around Minnesota, preparing for the second wave of COVID-19 vaccinations when more vaccine is available.
