Who can get a vaccine in Scott County right now?
Updated: 6/03/21 at 10:30am
All Minnesotans ages 12 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Scott County Public Health is eager to help all Scott County residents access the vaccine. To ensure the process is fair, equitable, and compliant with state guidelines, we have the following protocols in place:
We are vaccinating individuals 12 and older. Scott County is administering the Moderna vaccine in most clinics. We are also working with Scott County school districts to offer families limited opportunities for the Pfizer vaccine, which is now approved for ages 12 and older. Please read the clinic's information carefully before registering to make sure you will receive the vaccine you prefer.
Scott County Public Health is prioritizing Scott County residents. We may post signup links on our Public Health website that are exclusive to Scott County residents or community partners. We encourage visitors to carefully examine sources and check our Public Health website before signing up on any link.
