Dear Neighbors,
Next Monday, April 5th at 6 PM, Representative Mohamud Noor, Senator Kari Dziedzic and I will be hosting a virtual Town Hall event to update you on all mid-session news from the Capitol. Please mark your calendars to tune-in on Representative Noor's Facebook Page.
We welcome all comments and questions during the event and will try our best to cover everything. Thank you for your engagement!
Vaccine Distribution Update
Governor Tim Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan recently announced the expansion of vaccine eligibility for people 16 years of age and older starting March 30th. The announcement is in response to the increased supply of vaccines by the federal government to arrive in April.
In the past months, Minnesota has proven to be a national leader in getting shots into arms, and will now be able to step into the final stage of distribution.
Last week, Minnesota was ranked number one in the country for the percentage of vaccine doses administered to Minnesotans. For more information, please check out this article by the Star Tribune.
If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, I encourage you to check out Minnesota’s COVID-19 Vaccine Connector, a tool to help people find out when, where, and how to get a vaccine. It can let you know when you’re eligible to be vaccinated, connect you to resources to schedule a vaccine appointment, and alert you if there are vaccine opportunities nearby. To sign up, visit mn.gov/vaccineconnector or call 833-431-2053.
