Staying up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines continues to be the best way to help protect against getting very sick from COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to update COVID-19 vaccine recommendations as we learn more. Current recommendations include:
- People 6 months of age and older should get vaccinated and receive at least one updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna).
- Children 6 months through 5 years may need multiple doses.
- People age 65 years and older may get a second dose of updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
- People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get additional doses of updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
The number of doses a person may need varies by age, vaccine manufacturer, previous COVID-19 vaccines received, and if someone is immunocompromised. For more information on what staying up to date means for you, visit CDC: Stay Up to Date with Your COVID-19 Vaccines?and check out the updated materials in the "Guidance and resources" section below.?
COVID-19 Stories of Community Outreach and Partnership?highlight the efforts of our staff in collaboration with community partners during the COVID-19 response. Some stories provide insight into how this work is done, others discuss what challenges our teams face, but all of them recognize how COVID-19 has pushed MDH to try new strategies so we can fulfill our mission of protecting, maintaining, and improving the health of all Minnesotans.

Over the past decades, soccer has been a universal language, common to many people. As a worldwide sport, it is understood, loved, and supported by many cultures. Recognizing its unifying power to bring communities together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minnesota Department of Health partnered with Karen Football Association (KFA) to reach out to communities with culturally appropriate and linguistically relevant COVID-19 messaging. The idea started as a mere call for youth to keep healthy and safe during the pandemic, but soon ignited into an intense fervor, spreading impactful COVID-19 health messages woven around soccer across diverse communities in Minnesota and beyond. From these efforts, the ?Kick COVID? campaign was born, rose in popularity, and spread through social media by community soccer fans throughout the pandemic.
