Vaccine Pilot Program
Heritage Center of Brooklyn Center has been chosen to take part in the COVID-19 vaccine pilot program.
As of January 19th, Minnesotans 65 and older can schedule appointments for COVID-19 community vaccine clinics. Educators and child care workers will be notified if they receive an appointment.
While the vaccines at the pilot clinics will be administered by experienced professionals under strict medical guidance, the pilot program itself is a fact finding mission, not a final destination. It’s a laboratory, not a finished product. The purpose of the program is to find out what works and what doesn’t work. Every step of the way, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) will be evaluating where the program succeeds and falls short, including but not limited to registration, clinic flow patterns, and timing. In doing so, the hope is to learn how to most safely, efficiently and equitably protect Minnesotans from COVID-19 through community vaccination.
Out of respect for the health and safety of participants and staff, please do NOT to visit the vaccine pilot clinics UNLESS you have an appointment. Minnesotans age 65 and older can schedule an appointment or learn more online by visiting mn.gov/vaccine or by phone 612-426-7230 or 833-431-2053.
