On Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz joined community leaders at Shiloh Temple International Ministries in Minneapolis to discuss partnerships the state has made with 30 community-based organizations to help connect Minnesotans with the COVID-19 vaccine.
As 'COVID-19 Community Coordinators,' these partners will work with the state to ensure people have access to the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector and other COVID-19 information specific to their communities, including in multiple languages, according to the governor's office.
"Last week, we announced the rollout of the Vaccine Connector – a tool to help Minnesotans find out when, where, and how to get their vaccine," Walz said in a statement. "I'm thrilled that we have invested in organizations on the ground to help connect Minnesota's diverse communities with the vaccine. We are committed to making it as easy as possible for Minnesotans from every community to get the vaccine when it's their turn."
