Allina Health is seeing a high demand for COVID-19 vaccine boosters. If you are eligible for a booster and there are no appointments available at an Allina Health location convenient for you, you may instead make an appointment at a local retail pharmacy, state vaccination site or other location offering vaccines:

• Minnesota residents: Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Finder
• Wisconsin residents: Vaccines.gov

Masks required

Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all of our patients, visitors and health care workers; we do still require masks be worn at all our locations, regardless of vaccination status.

To learn more about about infection control within health care settings, visit the CDC's Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel page.

You can also learn more about the CDC recommendations for fully-vaccinated individuals and health care environment exceptions.
