(St. Paul, MN) — The FDA announced the approval of the updated COVID-19 vaccines Monday, the CDC issued formal vaccine recommendations Tuesday, and today (WED), Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Brooke Cunningham is voicing her support.
Cunningham says, “Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 remains one of the best tools in our toolbox to fight COVID-19 and keep Minnesotans safe.
The newly authorized, updated vaccines are an even more effective tool, targeting the variants we know are in our communities right now.”
The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get the updated vaccine. Updated Pfrizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines will be available later this week.
