Minnesota’s 15-month long peacetime emergency to address the devastating COVID-19 pandemic ends at 11:59 pm tonight. In recognition of this significant milestone, the Minnesota Medical Association, on behalf of its more than 12,000 physician and physician-in-training members, extends its thanks to state leaders, public health professionals, essential workers, and all of our fellow healthcare workers for their tireless work and dedication. We are grateful for the progress our state has made. But the virus and its variants remain a serious issue which could undermine our return to normal, which is why getting vaccinated, if you are eligible, is so important. Let’s build on our progress, Minnesota. Remember that children under the age of 12, and those with immune deficiencies, are unable to get the vaccine and remain vulnerable to COVID 19. For those who haven’t rolled up their sleeve yet, we urge you to get the shot to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
