Governor Walz Celebrates 200,000 COVID-19 Vaccines Administered at Mall of America Community Site

Statement

Today Governor Tim Walz announced that the state's Community Vaccination Clinic at the Mall of America will reach 200,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered this week, and nearly 840,000 total doses have been administered statewide through the state's Community Vaccination Clinics.

"Our state-run Community Vaccination Clinic at the Mall of America is reaching the incredible milestone of getting 200,000 COVID-19 shots in arms thanks to the tireless efforts of so many," said Governor Walz. "Our community sites have administered 840,000 vaccines across Minnesota, helping us ensure everyone can find a live-saving COVID-19 vaccine in a convenient, accessible way. My deepest gratitude to the workers on the frontlines administering those shots in arms, our Department of Health COVID-19 operations team coordinating every logistic and detail behind the scenes, and the hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans who visited this clinic to protect themselves, their family, and our state."

"Thank you to everyone who had a hand in helping us get 200,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered at our Mall of America site," said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. "A lot of work went into getting each dose to that clinic and into the arms of our loved ones, and I am grateful to all the Minnesotans who got protection at our clinic. This site will continue to play a critical role as we urge every eligible Minnesotan 12 and older to get their booster dose when they're due."
