MN Expands Access to COVID19 Vaccines to People with Chronic Illness & Frontline Workers

Minnesota has now expanded access to the COVID vaccine to people with chronic illnesses and those working in frontline occupations. With this announcement, the state has made vaccinations possible for nearly a third of the state’s population.

Minnesota is nearing its goal of vaccinating 70 percent of the senior population. Because of this, it can expand eligibility.

Some of the groups who now have access to COVID shots are:

- People with underlying health conditions, such as Sickle cell disease or Down syndrome, or who have immunocompromised systems because of cancer treatment or organ transplant.

- People who are oxygen-dependent because of lung or heart conditions.

- Those 50 and older living in multi-generational housing.

- Essential frontline workers: agricultural, airport staff, child care workers not previously eligible, workers in correctional settings, first responders, food production, food retail, food service, public health workers, public transit, the U.S. Postal Service, among others.

To get the full, updated list of vaccine-eligible Minnesotans, go to: M-N dot GOV backslash COVID19 backslash VACCINE, and click on the link “Who’s Getting Vaccinated?”
