(KNSI) – More than 35,000 Minnesotans over the age of 65 will have access to a COVID-19 vaccine this week at over 100 clinics and hospitals, state community vaccination sites and other locations around the state.

“In total, we have about 98,000 doses being distributed across Minnesota this week, the most we’ve ever had,” said Kris Ehresmann, the Minnesota Department of Health’s infectious disease director.
