Walz set to announce next phases in vaccine rollout Thursday

Gov. Tim Walz will announce the next phase of the state's COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan Thursday, which is set to take effect after 70% of Minnesota seniors get at least one dose.

State officials expect to reach that goal by the end of March, according to Walz spokesman Teddy Tschann.

"Governor Walz is committed to giving Minnesota seniors the opportunity to be vaccinated before opening up the process more widely," Tschann said.
