Appointments are now available for people in Minnesota to receive an updated bivalent booster – which is formulated to be more effective against the Omicron variants – at state-run vaccination sites at the Mall of America and Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center. Additional state sites will be opening in the coming days. “This new booster represents another step forward in fighting COVID-19,” said Governor Walz. “This variant-specific formula will play an important role in helping keep Minnesotans safe this fall – especially when paired with testing and therapeutics.” Contact your health care provider or a local pharmacy.
