COVID-19 Vaccine Data
COVID-19 Situation Update
Updated 3/23/2023
Updated weekly on Thursdays at 11 a.m. with data as of 4 a.m. on the Tuesday prior, unless noted otherwise.
- Minnesota uses the following definitions for COVID-19 vaccine data:
- Doses administered: Number of vaccine doses that have been administered to Minnesotans and reported to the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC).
- People with at least one vaccine dose: Number of people in Minnesota who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. These people may have received additional doses, including booster doses when due.
- People with completed vaccine series: The complete series could be one, two, or three doses depending on the person's age and which vaccine they received. It does not include booster doses.
- People up to date on vaccinations: Number of people in Minnesota who have received all doses of COVID-19 vaccine they are eligible to receive. For ages 6 months through 4 years, up to date means two doses of monovalent Pfizer product and one dose of the bivalent Pfizer product, three doses of the monovalent Pfizer product, or two doses of monovalent Moderna product and one dose of the bivalent Moderna product. For ages 5+, up to date means a complete primary series and a bivalent booster dose when due.
- Percentage of people with at least one vaccine dose, complete series, and up to date: Percent of people who have received one vaccine dose, a complete vaccine series, or are up to date with vaccine doses.
- All data are subject to change as more information is received.
- Vaccine administration data are updated with data as of 12 a.m. on the Sunday prior.
- Health equity data are updated bi-weekly on Thursdays with data as of the previous Friday.
- Unless otherwise noted, all denominators based on 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates for the state of Minnesota available at United States Census Bureau: Explore Census Data.
- All data by county is based on residence.
- Statewide estimates by age and gender are based on ACS tables DP05 and S0101, except for the 5-11 and 12-15-year-old age groups, which are based on summing the county-level estimate based on ACS table B01001. The age groups have been split based on the assumption that ages are equally distributed within age groups.
- Vaccine administration data are based on vaccination records in the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC), a confidential immunization information system. Immunizations in MIIC are submitted by participating health care providers.
- Providers who receive vaccine from MDH must submit COVID-19 vaccination information to MIIC within 24 hours; pharmacies have 72 hours. Providers getting vaccine directly from the federal government are not required to report to MIIC, but some may.
- MIIC is a useful resource to monitor state and county immunization coverage in Minnesota. The data can also help to identify at-risk populations and encourage public health actions and policies aimed at increasing immunization. The data cannot tell us why people are not vaccinated.
- However, MIIC data may underestimate the actual number of people receiving vaccines due to several limitations:
- While it is a requirement for most providers to report COVID-19 vaccine administration data to MIIC, some data may not be submitted to MIIC properly or there could be errors in the data that result in missing immunization information. MDH staff monitor and address any lapses in data exchange to ensure that timely and accurate COVID-19 vaccination information is submitted.
- Cross border-state immunization data exchange currently occurs with Iowa, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. Vaccines received in Iowa, Wisconsin, and North Dakota when the person gave a Minnesota address are in MIIC. At this time there is no similar data exchange with South Dakota.
- Age and gender are self-reported at the time of vaccination.
- Due to data collection and reporting timing, there may be discrepancies between data from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and other sources.

- Minnesota population by race and ethnicity: Total population of Minnesota by race category per 2019 ACS 5-year estimates.

- People by Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) risk group vaccinated by age: Percentage of people in Minnesota age 1 year and older, by SVI ZIP code quartile and age group (2019 American Community Survey). For more information on Social Vulnerability Index, refer to COVID-19 Vaccine Equity in Minnesota.
- People experiencing homelessness, past three months: Percentage of people experiencing homelessness in the past three months vaccinated, by age group. Homelessness data represents shelter, street outreach, hotel and site-based supportive housing documented in the Minnesota Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) and limited to people with at least one health care interaction documented at a participating health system.
- People experiencing homelessness, past three months: Percentage of people experiencing homelessness in past three months vaccinated, by age group. Homelessness data represents shelter, street outreach, hotel and site based supportive housing documented in the Minnesota Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS) and limited to people with at least one health care interaction documented at a participating health system.
- People incarcerated in jail settings, past three months: Percentage of people incarcerated in jail setting in the past three months vaccinated, by age group. Incarceration in jail settings is defined as booked in Minnesota county jail in the past three months and limited to people with at least one health care interaction documented at a participating health system.
- People incarcerated in prison settings, past three months: Percentage of people incarcerated in a prison setting in the past three months vaccinated, by age group. Incarceration in prison settings is defined as booked in Minnesota state prison in the past three months and limited to people with at least one health care interaction documented at a participating health system.
- People enrolled in Minnesota Health Care Programs: Percentage of people enrolled in a Minnesota Health Care Program (MHCP) vaccinated, by age group. MHCP enrollment is defined as enrollment in an MHCP in the past year and limited to people with at least one health care interaction documented at a participating health system. Vaccination rates for people enrolled in an MHCP do not include data from Medicaid claims. An estimated 2.5% of Medicaid COVID-19 vaccinations are found only through claims. Consequently, the vaccination counts may be slightly undercounted for those in the Medicaid program. For more information about MHCP programs refer to:MN DHS: Medical Assistance or MN DHS: MinnesotaCare.
- Health equity data is created in partnership with the MN EHR Consortium.
