Welcome to Community Resources: Minnesota! Today is May 13th, 2022, and it’s feeling like Summer in Minneapolis! Birds are chirping, I’m sweating, and my dog wants to go outside. Seriously - he’s sitting right here begging me to let him out. I’ll let him out right after this. Maybe we’ll take a long walk.

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.

Today that information is coming from The Minnesota Department of Health!

For this episode we’re going to start with Announcements, go through upcoming COVID Vaccine Events, and then touch on two job opportunities.

As always, to get all the good details - you do need to go to BottomlessCoffeeShow.com/Community. 

Announcements

Immunizations: COVID-19 has caused many disruptions in families’ lives. For some young children that means they’ve missed important well-child visits and may be behind on immunizations they need to help keep them healthy. Talk to your child’s doctor to make sure they are on track. https://www.health.state.mn.us/people/immunize/basics/index.html  

Boosters: Are you up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines? All Minnesotans 12 and older should get a booster shot when they are due. Learn when you are due and find your shot: https://mn.gov/covid19/vaccine/boosters/index.jsp #RollUpYourSleevesMN
