Type 1 diabetes, rare diseases added to vaccine priority groups

People with Type 1 diabetes and some high-risk rare medical conditions, such as ALS and cystic fibrosis, were added to the state's next phase of COVID-19 vaccine priority groups by health officials Tuesday. Those diseases were not initially included when the qualifying medical conditions were announced last Thursday. Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said the changes were made to align the state with federal guidance. Minnesota health officials announced 788 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases Wednesday and 17 more deaths related to the pandemic.
