Vaccine clinics and pharmacies in Southeast Minnesota began offering COVID-19 vaccinations to adolescents ages 12 to 15 on Thursday.
This comes as nearly half of the new COVID-19 cases last week in Olmsted County were either among or traced to school-age children, said Amy Evans, who is heading Olmsted County Public Health’s vaccination planning.
Dr. Robert Jacobson, a pediatrician at
Mayo Clinic, said the clinic strongly urges parents to vaccinate eligible children.
“Until we vaccinate children, we’re not going to achieve the herd immunity we need to knock COVID-19 down from a pandemic status,” he said.
