MANKATO â A new shipment of COVID-19 vaccines is expected to arrive in Minnesota Wednesday, which would pave the way for immunizations to begin at area long-term care residents before the end of the month.
Long-term care residents, whoâve accounted for most of the stateâs COVID deaths, are in the â1Aâ group of people being prioritized for the vaccine. Frontline health workers in the Mankato area, also in the 1A group, began receiving Pfizer vaccines Monday.
Residents in long-term care or assisted living facilities would be set to next receive vaccines from another manufacturer, Moderna.
