Non-subscribers New COVID vaccine already being distributed in state Posted David Colburn REGIONAL- Gov. Tim Walz unveiled a more descriptive staged timeline for coronavirus vaccinations last week that would have vaccines available to anyone who wants one by summer, but a “game changing” announcement from the Food and Drug Administration on Saturday could accelerate that timeline. The FDA issued an “emergency use authorization” for a third coronavirus vaccine, developed by Johnson & Johnson. Unlike its Pfizer and Moderna predecessors, the J&J vaccine requires only one dose, not two. An initial shipment to Minnesota of 45,200 doses is already being administered throughout the state, according to state Infectious Disease Director Kris Ehresmann.
