COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccination will help keep you from getting COVID-19. Getting vaccinated will be one of the best ways to protect yourself and those around you. All Minnesotans 5 years of age and older are eligible to receive a vaccine. Minnesotans aged 5 to 17 are eligible only for the Pfizer vaccine with parent/guardian consent.
How to get your vaccine:
- Schedule an appointment at a vaccine clinic hosted by Sherburne County Health & Human Services. Sherburne County Public Health is a registered vaccine provider through the state health department, currently offering Pfizer vaccine to eligible persons.
- Use the Vaccine Locator Map to find vaccine providers near you.
- Go to a COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program site. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment necessary.
- Sign up for the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector. The Vaccine Connector will inform you about vaccine opportunities in your area.
- Contact your primary health care provider or a local pharmacy.
- Search for a list of statewide public vaccination clinics, including those in Sherburne County.
Booster Doses
Additional dose of mRNA vaccine for people with certain immunocompromising conditions
CDC now recommends that people with certain immunocompromising conditions that received the mRNA vaccine get an additional dose of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. We have clear data to show that people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised may not develop a good immune response from two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. An additional dose may improve protection. There is currently not enough data to recommend that people who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should receive an additional dose at this time.
People should talk to their health care provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
