Positive vaccine news was announced Tuesday by nference, a data partner with Mayo Clinic, which analyzed health records of 68,000 people who received two-dose vaccines and an equivalent number of unvaccinated people. However, that rate had increased only to 36% at the end of June. The vaccination rate among recipients ages 12 to 15 raced to 25% in the first two weeks in May in which they became eligible. Health officials said they believe vaccination progress shortened a spring pandemic wave, but they want to get the state's immunization rate beyond 70% to reduce virus spread or the formation of new variants that could be more infectious or severe.įederal recommendations haven't changed, despite a pause in May in the use of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine because of a few reports of severe blood clots, and a review last week of the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines after more than 300 reports of heart inflammation.įederal officials concluded that the rate of heart inflammation wasn't larger in the vaccinated population than it was in the general population, and that the vaccine's benefits outweighed the risks.Įven rare side effects have contributed to hesitancy over the vaccines, though, particularly among younger recipients. Minnesota has reported 605,365 infections and 7,594 COVID-19 deaths in the pandemic, including 81 infections and seven deaths reported Wednesday.
A pop-up vaccine site also is available at Terminal 1, but it is inside airport security for travelers. The new Sun Country offer includes a voucher to cover the cost of short-term parking at the terminal vaccine site.

Tim Walz said in a statement regarding the incentive. "With more than 3 million Minnesotans vaccinated, we've made great progress as a state, and we want to build on that success by providing a chance to get back to traveling - safely," Gov.

Minnesota's rate in that age group was 69.9%, according to an update Wednesday by the U.S. The incentive underscores the desire among Minnesota health officials to increase the immunization rate even after the state reaches a federal goal of providing COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of adults by Sunday. Sun Country Airlines on Wednesday announced a new COVID-19 vaccine incentive - weekly drawings for $500 travel vouchers to people who get their shots in July at a pop-up clinic outside airport security at Terminal 2 of the Minneapolis-St.
