COVID-19 vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are updated annually to give you the best protection from the currently circulating strains.

Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recommendations: The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is endorsing the updated COVID-19 vaccine recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). These associations developed guidance recommending that all people over 6 months old should have the option to receive the COVID-19 vaccine without additional barriers. There is a strong recommendation for children under 2 years, pregnant women, children and adults with high-risk conditions and adults age 65 and older to get vaccinated. More detailed information about the recommendations can be found on COVID-19 Vaccine Access for Minnesotans.
