General public and travelers 18+ can walk in or make appointment for one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine at Terminal 2 outside of security

[ST. PAUL, MN] – Today, Governor Tim Walz announced the State of Minnesota is continuing its partnership with the Metropolitan Airports Commission to launch a second temporary pop-up vaccination site at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Vaccinations will be open to the public and travelers 18 years of age and older. They will be administered at Terminal 2 outside of security seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Thursday, June 10.
The Terminal 2 pop-up joins the state’s other MSP Airport temporary vaccine site in Terminal 1, which launched Saturday, June 5. The Terminal 1 location is inside security and is administering vaccine to travelers with a boarding pass and others who have access inside Terminal 1, including MSP Airport employees.
“All eligible Minnesotans can now get fully vaccinated at the airport, without going through security,” said Governor Walz. “The Johnson & Johnson vaccine offered at the airport is just a single dose, so you can now protect yourself from COVID-19 in one stop while you catch your flight, or wait for your loved one to land. We are working hard to offer these safe and effective vaccines to every Minnesotan who wants them, and we are proud to offer options as convenient as this one for travelers and non-travelers alike.”
Over 600,006 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered through the state’s Community Vaccination Program.
“The vaccine is safe, it’s free, and most importantly, it works,” said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. “Whether you are arriving, taking off, picking someone up or just happen to be in the neighborhood, it’s easier than ever for Minnesotans to access their vaccine at MSP Airport.”
All Minnesotans 18 years of age and older are eligible to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in Terminal 2 outside of security. Participants do not need a boarding pass to access the vaccine at the Terminal 2 location. The Terminal 1 vaccine event remains open for travelers catching a flight or arriving at MSP Airport. Minnesotans are encouraged to walk in or make an appointment via the Minnesota COVID-19 Vaccine Connector, by calling 833-431-2053, or by making an appointment online at: https://my.primary.health/r/vaxmn-msp?registration_type=default
“This second vaccination site ensures that everyone traveling through MSP, regardless which terminal they are using, has quick, easy access to life-saving vaccinations,” said Metropolitan Airports Commission CEO Brian Ryks. “The desire to spend time with other people is at the heart of air travel, and vaccinations help ensure people can interact safely. I want to thank Governor Walz, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan and the Minnesota Department of Health for their continued partnership to keep travelers safe.”
The Terminal 2 vaccination event is located at:
7150 Humphrey Drive
Minneapolis, MN 55450
The directions to access the Terminal 2 pop-up are as follows:
The MSP Airport events joins Duluth, Rochester, Bloomington (MOA), Saint Paul (Roy Wilkins Auditorium), St. Cloud, Mankato, Oakdale and Lino Lakes in the state’s Minnesota’s COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program.
