Health officials: Minnesotans should wait to get booster shots

Fully vaccinated Minnesotans should not try to get COVID-19 booster shots right now, despite media reports that federal officials will approve them soon, state health leaders said Tuesday.

Federal officials have not released any details about when booster shots would begin or eligibility criteria, but federal officials may release some information Wednesday. Minnesota health officials said they have not been notified about a booster program.

Even if boosters become recommended, they most likely will be given first to health care workers and long-term care residents, the same groups that were designated as high priority when the shots started going into arms in late December. For now, Minnesota's top health official said the priority should be those who are not fully vaccinated as well as people with weakened immune systems who last Friday became eligible for a third dose.
