It’s normal to have questions or concerns about vaccines.

There is a lot of information floating around about COVID-19 vaccines, and it’s normal to have questions. Consult reputable sources for accurate information about the vaccines, to help you feel comfortable getting your shot. Here are some ideas:

• Talk to your doctor or another healthcare provider. They can share reliable information about vaccines and help you make the decision that's best for you.
• The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Vaccine Education Center has a web page with Questions and Answers about COVID-19 Vaccines. You can even submit your own question to be answered by their Vaccine Education Center staff.
• Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 vaccines: Get the facts and Minnesota Department of Health’s fact sheets COVID-19 Vaccine Basics (PDF) and What You Should Know About COVID-19 Vaccines (PDF) address some of the most common concerns about COVID-19 vaccines.

Getting vaccinated is safe, easy and convenient.

If you can’t get your vaccine this week at Mall of America, it’s easy to find vaccines through other providers such as pharmacies, medical clinics, and local public health departments. Many sites welcome walk-ins. Use these resources to find convenient locations near you: 

• CDC’s vaccines.gov vaccine finder lets you search based on the brand you need (for example, the Pfizer vaccine for a teen) and how far you can travel.
• Use MN COVID-19 Response | Find Vaccine Locations to search for a provider near your city or ZIP code.
• Need help? Call the MN Department of Health COVID-19 Public Hotline at 833-431-2053. Calls are answered Monday–Saturday, and operators speak multiple languages.

You’ll save time in the long run by getting vaccinated now.

Life is busy, so it can be easy to put off getting vaccinated. After your shot, some side effects are normal; they are typically mild and go away after a day or two. If you're unvaccinated, just being exposed to someone with COVID-19 means you need to quarantine for 14 days, even if you don't get sick. And if you do get sick with COVID-19, the illness can last for days or weeks or even longer! Get vaccinated now so you won’t miss out on work, school, or other activities.

Thank you to all Minnesotans who have been vaccinated.

Together we have made so much progress; more than 3.3 million Minnesotans have already received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine! Your decision to get vaccinated has helped protect your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Please continue to be safe, and urge others to get vaccinated too—YOU are a trusted resource for the people you know. 

You can help others feel more comfortable about getting vaccinated by talking about why you chose to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and sharing information from reliable sources. Visit the CDC website How to talk about COVID-19 Vaccines with your friends and family to prepare for those conversations.
