Minnesota community vaccination program
State of Minnesota community vaccination program
The community vaccine program operated by the State of Minnesota has no-barrier vaccination clinics across the state. Those who initially qualify for vaccination include adults 65+, pre-k through 12 educators and school staff, and child care workers.
For general information about the State's community vaccination program:
- Visit mn.gov/findmyvaccine
- Call 833-431-2053 (Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
If you are 65+
Contact your clinic or hospital
- The State of Minnesota is shipping more vaccine to clinics and hospitals across the state for those aged 65 and over.
- Contact your local health care provider to ask about getting the vaccine.
- Use the Find My Vaccine tool.
Participate in the 65+ community vaccination program
The State of Minnesota uses a random selection process for appointments. To enter the random selection process, Minnesotans age 65+ must first complete the pre-registration online or by phone during available hours.
- New pre-registrations are not being accepted at this time, but there will be future opportunities.
- If you signed up for pre-registration and have not been notified, you are still on the list. You will again have the opportunity to be chosen to make an appointment for a vaccine at one of the community vaccination clinics (Minneapolis, Duluth or Rochester).
- If you have questions, call 833-431-2053.

Vaccine supply
The supply of vaccine available in Minnesota remains very limited. Governor Walz, along with the governors of Michigan and Wisconsin have sent a letter to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to express frustration with the amount of vaccine available. The letter called upon the Trump Administration to do everything possible to purchase additional vaccine after reports that a supply of vaccine for second doses states had been told was in reserve, did not exist.
Saint Paul – Ramsey County Public Health has a small amount of vaccine and will continue to provide vaccinations as we get additional supply from the state of Minnesota.
