Vaccine information:
The health care coalitions are currently working with our hospital partners to disseminate the ultra-cold Pfizer BioNTech vaccine. Current vaccination efforts are focused on healthcare workers in the Phase 1a First Priority listings. (see the MDH Guidance for Allocating and Prioritizing COVID-19 vaccine). Once the First Priority group is completed the Hospitals will move onto the 2nd and 3rd priorities – within their systems.
Clinics/Providers/others listed in the 2nd and 3rd tier that are not part of the hospital systems are encouraged to visit the Minnesota Department of Health Vaccine site to complete a Provider Agreement and for further direction and guidance on COVID-19 vaccinations.
We have updated the coalition website to include a robust COVID-19 response directory.
