Celebrate Safely, Minnesota “Celebrate Safely, Minnesota” is a coordinated, statewide effort to help Minnesotans access the resources they need to celebrate as safely as they can this holiday season. In addition to testing and vaccine events, the campaign will help Minnesotans find a test, vaccine, or booster and highlight why each step is critical to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Get Vaccinated
Minnesotans age 5 and up can be vaccinated. Vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones this holiday season—especially those who can’t be vaccinated and children under 5.

• Find COVID-19 Vaccine Locations for the whole family.

Get Boosted
Minnesotans 16 and older should get a booster shot when they are due (6 months after receiving Pfizer and Moderna, and 2 months after receiving Johnson & Johnson).

• Learn more at About COVID-19 Vaccine: Booster shots.

Get Tested
Even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms, test before holiday gatherings to make sure you’re not spreading the virus to loved ones unknowingly. Take advantage of one of the many free testing options the state has to offer.

• Find Testing Locations or head to your local clinic or pharmacy.
• Make an appointment or visit a COVID-19 community testing site.
• Order a free test through the COVID-19 Vault Saliva Testing at Home program to ensure you have one on-hand ahead of the holidays, or use a test if you have one already.

Stay Safe
Wear your mask in indoor public settings, wash your hands, and do your best to avoid crowded indoor spaces before getting together with family and friends—especially high-risk loved ones and children under 5 who can’t be vaccinated.
