Ahead of Monday s announcement, Gov. Tim Walz s office said it s planning a mass vaccination event for educators.
On Monday morning, the state announced a mass vaccination pilot event for educators, school staff and child care providers in the metro area. The state will administer 15,000 Moderna vaccines at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul from Thursday, Jan. 28 through Monday, Feb. 1.
To balance that initiative, two of the other pilot COVID-19 vaccination sites in the metro will only serve adults ages 65 and up this week: Blaine and Brooklyn Center.
The Xcel pilot site will not be available for walk-ups. School employees will need to work directly with their school districts, charter schools, tribal schools or nonpublic school organizations to schedule an appointment. Child care programs are selected randomly and will be notified if they re chosen.
