Hello,

 

The Board is passing along this message at the request of the Minnesota Department of Health. 

 

Vaccination after COVID-19 infection

A person with COVID-19 infection can be vaccinated upon recovery from acute illness and discontinuing isolation. This applies to all COVID-19 vaccine doses, including boosters. MDH has been hearing reports of providers telling people they are unable to vaccinate them for 90 days or more because they have had a recent infection of SARS-CoV-2. The only reason to wait 90 days after illness is for those people who received monoclonal antibodies as part of their treatment. Do not miss an opportunity to vaccinate an eligible person. For more information refer to CDC’s Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines: COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection and Ending Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19: Interim Guidance.
