Coronavirus: Over 1 Million Minnesotans Are Fully Vaccinated

MINNESOTA — More than one million Minnesotans have completed the coronavirus vaccination process as of this week. That represents nearly 23 percent of the state population.

"Each person vaccinated moves us one step closer to getting back to normal," Gov. Tim Walz said in a statement.

More than 44,000 doses are now being administered per day, on average, according to Walz's office. More than 70,000 doses were administered Sunday alone, a state record.

"One million Minnesotans completing the vaccine process is a remarkable milestone on the day all Minnesotans age 16 and older can get in line. Now, we’re ready to make sure everyone can get the relief from a life-saving shot so we can get back to all the things and people we’ve missed, and end this pandemic together."

A person is considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 once it has been two weeks since their final vaccine dose.

Starting Tuesday, every Minnesota who is 16 and older is eligible to receive the coronavirus vaccine.
