(Hennepin County, MN) -- Employees in Hennepin County will now have to get the COVID-19 vaccine.  

On Tuesday, the County Board passed the mandate requiring workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus by February 4th. 

The vote comes after all but one of Minnesota's 87 counties have been determined to be in the highest transmission category for the virus by the CDC.
