The Convention Center previously served as a pop-up location for the state’s Vaccine Pilot Program between January 21 and February 22.
River’s Edge Convention Center is still offering COVID-19 testing in one room along with the vaccinations in another.
Governor Walz was planning on visiting the new St. Cloud COVID-19 community vaccination site on Wednesday. The Governor’s visit was postponed because one of his staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
Minnesotans can sign up for the Vaccine Connector to help connect them to vaccine opportunities once it’s their turn.
