Once 70% of the state’s seniors have received the vaccine, Minnesota will expand eligibility based on underlying health conditions and workplace exposure risk. Based on current projections, the next group of Minnesotans eligible for a vaccine will begin getting them in April. https://t.co/PLdY53b7ZY — PolitiTweet.org

One year into this pandemic, I want to thank Minnesotans for their incredible work rising above and beyond during one of the most difficult times this state has ever seen. We can see the finish line and we have the roadmap. Today, we laid out a path to vaccinate all Minnesotans. — PolitiTweet.org

At 12:15 today we’re announcing our path forward in vaccinating all Minnesotans. Tune in here: https://t.co/ZotMY398qu — PolitiTweet.org

We’re continuing to build a reliable network of vaccine options in Minnesota. Earlier this week @HyVee began vaccinating Minnesotans, and today we announced a new vaccination site at @mallofamerica. We'll keep expanding access until every Minnesotan can get their shot. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

NEW: We’re launching a community vaccination site at the Mall of America. In the first week, 8,000+ educators and child care workers will be able to get vaccinated. We’ll also have more than 10,000 doses for age 65+ this week at other sites. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

No family should go hungry in Minnesota. We’re partnering with @GeneralMills to fight hunger by connecting Minnesotans with resources to stay safe and healthy. Incredibly grateful to our partners for stepping up with this public-private partnership! https://t.co/9GIPuqNGRT — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

Community partners are a critical part of our effort to connect all of Minnesota’s diverse communities to vaccine information and opportunities. We're committed to making it as easy as possible for every Minnesotan to get the vaccine when it’s their turn. https://t.co/G3o0eoYKSI — PolitiTweet.org

Maintaining our transportation, higher education, and community infrastructure helps keep it strong and reliable for generations to come. Today we announced a Local Jobs and Projects plan to invest in communities across the state, create jobs, and boost our economy. #BuildOneMN https://t.co/Zt0TCXknLH — PolitiTweet.org

Good luck to everyone heading back to the classroom today! As a former teacher, I know there’s no substitute for being in the classroom with your teachers and friends. Wishing all our middle and high schoolers a safe return to in-person learning in the coming weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

The story ends today, at vaccination sites in Thief River Falls, Fergus Falls, North Mankato, and Rochester. As of 11am this morning, all sites are open and, after an epic journey, these vaccines are flowing into Minnesotans’ arms. https://t.co/ATGoFFEj8e — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

I’m proud to report the @MNNationalGuard soldiers drove late into the night and – not surprisingly – successfully delivered the vaccines to their intended destinations. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

@MNNationalGuard soldiers took possession of the vaccines and hit the road, en route to Thief River Falls, Fergus Falls, North Mankato, and Rochester, where these doses were scheduled to be put into arms at state vaccination sites this morning. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

We are lucky in MN to have the heroes of the @MNNationalGuard always at the ready. Members of the Guard’s Medical Detachment responded quickly to the call and deployed to meet the shipment upon its touchdown at @mspairport. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

FedEx got the boxes on the right plane and finally on their way to MN. The flight was set to land at MSP at 7pm Friday – but these doses were needed in different parts of the state Saturday morning (today). — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

The WH quickly recognized what a problem this was and got busy trying to make it right. Mid-day we found out it had a short layover in Texas and was in Memphis, TN. Working with FedEx, we caught up with the shipment there. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

As soon as we heard that, I got on the phone with the White House. We had to sort it out. Luckily, we have a good Minnesotan leading on the federal COVID response – thanks, @ASlavitt! I talked to Andy and also got on the phone with @general_perna. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

Texas is the epicenter of bad weather impacts (remember that super cold storage requirement? You need electricity for freezers). And these doses were needed in MN within the next 24 hours. We’ve made great vaccine progress and can’t afford more delays. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

On Friday morning, a @MNNationalGuard Captain, who is a key member of our vaccine logistics team, was diligently tracking the vaccine shipments and noticed those doses scheduled to arrive in MN appeared to be taking a detour to Texas. This was alarming for a couple reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

Late Thursday night we got word that some delayed doses – 11 boxes of Pfizer, which is the vaccine that has to be kept frozen at -90 degrees – were finally on their way and would be in MN by Friday morning. But that’s where the story gets weird. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

Winter weather has caused delays in vaccine shipments and some rescheduled appointments here in MN. We’ve been in touch with the feds, keeping tabs on those shipments, and adjusting as needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

It should have been a simple trip from IL to MN, but it turned in to quite the epic saga involving the White House, four different states, and finally @MNNationalGuard saving the day with late night deliveries to all four corners of the state. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

So let me tell you a crazy story about the journey roughly 9,000 vaccine doses took to Minnesota yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

Don’t be left out, Minnesota 🏃 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

BREAKING: Minnesotans have now received 1 million life-saving doses of the vaccine. This is a milestone day. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz

No one can come up with cold-weather puns like Minnesotans can. Love this! — PolitiTweet.org

Beginning February 22, all middle and high schools can begin to welcome students back to the classroom for hybrid or in-person learning under new guidelines. We expect all schools to offer their students some form of in-person learning by March 8. — PolitiTweet.org
