@JustinDFTBA @kris_schulze @jburcum That’s awesome! So glad to hear!

[Vaccinate the Vulnerable Minnesota @vtvminnesota]

@kris_schulze @jburcum So glad he’s eligible now!

State expands vaccine eligibility to next group. Here’s a look at the latest timing projection #wcco https://t.co/KhWumcwToN

[Vaccinate the Vulnerable Minnesota @vtvminnesota]

Thank goodness for the rare disease/doctor discretion addendum added to vaccine eligibility in MN making so many eligible starting tomorrow. W/o that many more high-risk would not qualify because there’s not risk data on their conditions. All states should do this!

[Vaccinate the Vulnerable Minnesota @vtvminnesota]

@AndyDRC I hope she gets a vaccine soon! MN passed a rare disease/doctor discretion addendum making my daughter, with similar health issues, finally eligible starting tomorrow. W/o the addendum she’d have been grouped with the general public. I hope she is prioritized in her state soon.

You did it @GovTimWalz @mnhealth. We all feel it should have happened sooner than this but that's now water under the bridge. Soon Minnesotan immunocompromised/ vulnerable can breathe a little easier. Thank you! @vtvminnesota https://t.co/KDvDJiUzQu

"Everyone keeps saying, 'Be patient, be patient,' but we have been patient," Herbstritt said. "We have been isolating at home and doing everything we have been asked to do, but there comes a point when you're not being heard and you have to act."

[Vaccinate the Vulnerable Minnesota @vtvminnesota]

My daughter does this vest treatment daily to avoid pneumonia. She should have been eligible for a vaccine long ago. She’s still not eligible in MN. Vaccinate the Vulnerable @GovTimWalz. Thousands of Minnesotans cross state lines for COVID-19 vaccine https://t.co/2ARZH8HLaj

"Closer to the middle of the month" for the next phase to begin vaccinating. While this IS great @GovTimWalz @mnhealth if you're really concerned about the new variants, why make the immunocomprised wait?? Next week please? TY @vtvminnesota

[Karla Hickey @bkhickey]

Thanks @HeidiWigdahl. The immunocompromised Minnesotans @vtvminnesota certainly hope these extra doses mean we will finally get to the top of the vaccination list. Please @GovTimWalz @mnhealth

[Paurvi Bhatt, MPH @PaurviBhatt]

It’s time to bring the vaccine home. Some of us are waiting because we are taking care of fragile elderly. Many family caregivers and 2 Gen and multigenerational homes are #BIPOC Its time for There public health analysis to meet community common sense. @vtvminnesota

[Karla Hickey @bkhickey]

Let's GO @GovTimWalz @mnhealth @vtvminnesota... Why must immunocompromised Minnesotans continue to wait? https://t.co/KclzDTFtva

Thanks for the heads up @HeidiWigdahl. Set my DVR so I don't forget...and I know @kenterdahl will do a fantastic job. Love my KARE11 friends. @vtvminnesota
