Minnesota health officials say nearly everyone who has been hospitalized or died from COVID-19 was not fully vaccinated.

State and federal data shows the chances of contracting the coronavirus after being fully vaccinated are minuscule and getting severe COVID-19 or dying are even smaller.

It is ongoing evidence for state leaders and health officials in their campaign to vaccinate 70 percent of the population ages 16 and older by the end of June.
