ST PAUL – The Minnesota Department of Health is endorsing existing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.
The recommendations are from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The groups have developed guidance recommending everyone over six months old should ‘have the option to receive the COVID-19 vaccine without additional barriers.’
“Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements in modern medicine and help protect people of all ages,” said MDH Medical Director and State Epidemiologist Dr. Ruth Lynfield. “We encourage people to talk to their health care provider about all of the vaccines that are recommended for them, especially flu, RSV and COVID-19 vaccines, right now as we enter the respiratory disease season.”
