Minnesota’s vaccination rate remains flat at around 40,000 doses per day, but there’s good news under the hood, as the number of people with 1+ dose is trending upward — it’s just counterbalanced by a decline in people getting 2nd doses (largely deteremined 3-4 weeks ago). 
As a result, with MN now giving around 24K first doses per day, the target date for vaccinating most adults is moving up to mid-June.
And we have reason to expect a huge supply increase in the next week that will move this up even faster.

The vaccination rate continues to plummet for seniors (who may be close to maxed out in most parts of MN) while it’s rising for younger Minnesotans.
For example, in large swathes of the state (including Hennepin and Ramsey) between 80 and 90% of seniors already have at least one dose. Given that we we don’t know about the vaccination status of snowbirds, this could be just about everyone.
Meanwhile new #COVID19 cases continue to rise in Minnesota. Cases, positivity rate and hospitalizations have all risen about 50% over the past weeks, though since they started from low bases (especially positivity) we’re not yet into full-on wave territory yet.
#COVID19 deaths, meanwhile, have bounced up a bit the last few days after Monday’s 0-death day. But the magnitude of the change is small.
Minnesota’s recent rise in #COVID19 cases isn’t being driven by any one particular region or age group:
