Ramsey County Publishes Updates About Coronavirus Vaccine In Ramsey County For January 22, 2021

Press release from Ramsey County:

January 22, 2021

Many residents, employers and community partners are eager to get the COVID-19 vaccine at a time when the supply in Minnesota remains very limited. The vaccine is not yet available for the general public.

Saint Paul – Ramsey County Public Health has received a limited supply of vaccine which they are providing to priority groups in Phase 1a as established by the Minnesota Department of Health guidelines. The county’s Public Health department does not currently have vaccination clinics for the general public.

Here how you can learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine:

• Visit Find My Vaccine for details and to schedule an appointment at a State of Minnesota pilot community vaccination site. The state is offering vaccine for people age 65 or older, pre-k through grade 12 educators and child care workers on a limited basis.
• Check RamseyCounty.us/CovidVaccine for information about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, who is getting it now and how it will be distributed in the future.
• Subscribe to our COVID-19 vaccine updates and get email or text alerts on vaccine distribution.
• Submit an online vaccine request form if you are an employer with essential personnel. The form identifies employers who need help in getting the COVID-19 vaccine but does not guarantee access if they don’t fit federal and state guidelines.

When more vaccine becomes available, most people will get it from their regular health care provider, a pharmacy, or at a vaccine clinic operated by public health departments and community health centers. Eventually, there will be enough vaccine for anyone who wants it, and it will be free.
