As of March 30, all Minnesotans 16 years of age and older will be eligible to receive a vaccine. Minnesota has directed providers to prioritize vaccine appointments for people most at risk of getting COVID-19, or those who could develop severe illness if infected. This includes older Minnesotans, those with underlying health conditions, and those in essential jobs.

How to help employees receive a vaccine:

• Help employees find where to get vaccinated: They can receive them through the health care provider, at a pharmacy and others. The state offers a vaccine locator map to help employers and employees.
• Host an on-site vaccination: Just like hosting an on-site flu clinic, a vaccine provider or health care provider could help you vaccine employees on-site. Contact your health care provider or sign up through the Minnesota Department of Health.

How to get a vaccine: 

• Click here to access the state's Vaccine Locator Map to find vaccine providers near you. 
• Contact your primary health care provider or a local pharmacy.
• Sign up for the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector.
