| View this as a webpage Minnesota Department of Health February 10, 2021 COVID-19 Vaccine Update Minnesota has large-scale, permanent community vaccination sites in Minneapolis, Duluth, and Rochester. These COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program sites will continue to vaccinate people age 65 and older. More than 220,000 Minnesotans age 65 and older pre-registered for COVID-19 vaccine. Minnesotans who have not been selected from the registry will remain on this list and continue to have the opportunity to be selected to schedule an appointment at the state's COVID-19 community vaccination sites. In addition to the permanent sites, the state is sending doses of COVID-19 vaccine to more than 100 hospitals, clinics, and other health care providers to administer vaccines to Minnesota seniors. A new Federal Retail Pharmacy Program also starts this week where vaccine will be available to Minnesotans 65 and older at certain Walmart and Thrifty White locations. (See Minnesota Expanding Vaccine Network with Pharmacy Vaccinations This Week.) Minnesotans age 65 and older can use the online vaccine locator map to Find Vaccine Locations near them and contact those health care providers with questions. Please note that vaccine supply is still limited, so appointments may not always be available. Education and child care staff will be contacted directly if selected to sign up for vaccine appointments. Local public health departments will partner directly with school and child care programs in their communities.  St. Cloud Community Testing Site Closed February 22 – March 2 The COVID-19 community testing site at River's Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud will be closed temporarily from Feb. 22 through March 2 for a previously scheduled event. COVID-19 testing will resume on March 3 with its regular schedule of being open Wednesday through Sunday. During this temporary closure, we encourage residents to continue seeking out COVID-19 testing. - Order a mail-in saliva test through the COVID-19 Test at Home program. This program allows Minnesotans to order the same test kit that is used at the community testing site, at no cost to them.
- Use the COVID-19 testing map to Find Testing Locations near you, including hospitals or other clinics.
- Look for other COVID-19 Community Testing Sites that may be close to you. Sites within a 60-mile radius of St. Cloud include Anoka, Brooklyn Park, and Hutchinson.
