Thank you for the leadership you have shown this past year keeping your workers and customers safe. With over 8,500 restaurants in Minnesota employing over 100,000 Minnesotans, the challenges you have faced have been extraordinary – and the scope of impact to your business to keep people safe has been far-reaching.  

 

Participate in the Food Service Week of Action

On Tuesday, April 6, Food Service Week of Action will be launched to share how important our food service industry is in Minnesota. Join us in connecting food service employees to the resources they need to sign up for a vaccine and get vaccinated.

Share vaccine information with your employees

The goal of Food Service Week of Action is to drive vaccine participation and connect food service employees with the resources they need to get signed up for a vaccine. You can help your employees get the vaccine information they need by:   

  1. Helping your employees sign up for Minnesota’s Vaccine Connector. This week, the connector will be prioritizing food service workers.  
  2. Sharing COVID-19 Vaccine guidance, positive encouragement, vaccine resources, and personal stories about why you are personally choosing/chose to get vaccinated.  
  3. Sharing social media posts supporting food service employee vaccination throughout the week by using hashtags #VaxMN or #RollUpYourSleevesMN.

Employer resources

If you have questions about how to assist your employees, please check out the Minnesota Department of Health’s Employer Toolkit. This is a one stop shop designed to direct employers to the resources they need to help their workforce get vaccinated safely and efficiently, and to provide materials to educate employees about COVID-19 vaccines.
