Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is August 20th and I’m finally over COVID! As in - I had been testing positive and now I’m testing negative! I’m pretty sure that I got it from someone on a plane who lowered their mask and sneezed right next to me. So - please - everyone - wear your masks properly and do your part to end this pandemic.
My name is Jerome Evans, I host the TV Show Bottomless Coffee with Jerome and another podcast called Bottomless Coffee Podcast. You can stream episodes at BottomlessCoffeeShow.com.
Today on Community Resources Minnesota - we’re sharing information about the community resources that we have at our disposal.
The information for this episode is coming from The Minnesota Department of Health!
Today we’re going to start with Announcements and go through upcoming COVID Vaccine Events.
As always, to get all the good details - you do need to go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community.
Announcements
The time to get your children and teens vaccinated is now! As the school year approaches, now is the time to make sure your child is up to date on all recommended vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines.
This includes young adults headed off to institutions of higher education, too! Children and teens can get COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines they need at the same visit.
Getting vaccinated is an important tool to keep our students safe and healthy while they are in school.
