“After seeing Minnesota ranked at 23rd in the nation for vaccine accessibility, I knew more had to be done,” Senator Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) said Thursday, “I’m very relieved to see the Governor listening to the people of Minnesota and the legislature, and I remain hopeful that this process can be streamlined even more.”
Senator Warren Limmer is pleased to see Minnesota’s guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines will become closer to federal guidelines, set to include seniors ages 65 and up. The legislature has been encouraging Governor Walz to speed up the process with vaccinations and while it is not enough, Senator Limmer is pleased to see us heading in the right direction.
Vaccine availability makes Minnesotans safer, giving us a glimmer of hope that life could begin to return to normal. By engaging with partners like hospitals, speedy vaccination efforts will allow us to safely reopen Minnesota. “We will continue to hold the administration accountable to deliver vaccinations as soon as possible to protect those most at risk of COVID and complications.”
