8th Permanent COVID Community Vaccination Clinic Set Up In Oakdale

8th Permanent COVID Community Vaccination Clinic Set Up In Oakdale

Minnesota now has eight permanent community vaccination sites.

On Thursday, Gov. Tim Walz announced that the state’s COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program is expanding with a large-scale site now at Inwood Oaks in Oakdale.

The Oakdale site joins other permanent vaccination sites in Minneapolis, Duluth, Rochester, Bloomington, St. Paul, St. Cloud and Mankato. Here’s Walz during the state of the state address.

WALZ: "Getting vaccinated is how we will end this pandemic."

State officials say the Pfizer vaccine will be the initial vaccine used in Oakdale. This vaccine is currently approved for those 16 years of age and older. Clinical tests are underway for Pfizer and Moderna for children as young as 12.

Minnesotans who still need vaccination are being advised to sign up for the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector for notificat on nearby vaccine opportunities.

Over 2.6 million doses of the vaccine have been administered in the state so far. While vaccination efforts continue to ramp up, health officials are stressing vigilance at a moment when virus cases are increasing and community spread is a growing concern.

Meanwhile, COVID-19 community coordinators continue efforts to get vaccine information and other resources to the state’s diverse communities, including help with transportation, housing and language barriers during the pandemic. More information on that effort is on MinnesotaNativeNews.org
