Once 70% of Minnesota's seniors are vaccinated by the end of March, the state's COVID-19 vaccine rollout will move on to those with underlying health conditions and workers who are at high risk for infection, state officials said Thursday. The next phase will unfold in aseries of four tiers, with vaccines eventually available to anyone age 50 and above and then on to the final phase in the summer when the general public will be able to get the shot. The number of COVID-19 patients in Minnesota intensive care beds declined to 50 on Wednesday, a signal that the state's vaccination campaign is paying off, according to M Health Fairview's director of COVID hospital medicine.
