Health officials report that dozens of fully vaccinated people have contracted COVID-19 in Minnesota, a recent development that was not unexpected.

The state has identified 89 coronavirus infections in people who have received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine.

About 800,000 Minnesotans are fully vaccinated and president Joe Biden has challenged states to make everyone eligible by May.

Some St. Thomas students in certain jobs are eligible to receive their vaccines earlier than others. Young, low-risk adults receiving the vaccine can be found working in healthcare facilities, high-risk work environments or the U.S. Army.
