[ST. PAUL, MN] – Today, Governor Tim Walz and U.S. Bank Stadium announced a new vaccination clinic before the Rolling Stones concert on October 24 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. outside U.S. Bank Stadium . In addition to first and second doses, boosters will be administered to eligible Minnesotans. Vaccinations are open to the public, ages 12 and up, with no concert ticket required.

“Whether you need a booster or your first shot, the Rolling Stones clinic has you covered,” said Governor Walz. “The single greatest tool we have in this fight is the vaccine. If you love the Stones and protecting your fellow Minnesotans, then get your shot at the Rolling Stones vaccine clinic.”

The clinic will be located on the plaza next to the U.S. Bank Stadium light rail station stop near Chicago Avenue and will be open for vaccinations from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The site is administering the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the two-dose Pfizer vaccine.

“The vaccine is our best asset in the fight against COVID-19,” said Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. “Our continued collaboration with diverse partners is proof that the state is doing whatever it can to meet Minnesotans where they are. On October 24, before you hang out with Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, roll up your sleeves and get vaccinated.”

“We are pleased to support the Minnesota Department of Health’s vaccination efforts in partnership with the Rolling Stones concert,” says Michael Vekich, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority. “We welcome the opportunity to partner with the State of Minnesota while inviting fans back to U.S. Bank Stadium for this great event.”

Booster doses will also be administered to eligible Minnesotans. Acceptable forms of physical proof of vaccination status to receive a booster include:

• an original CDC COVID-19 vaccination card, or
• a paper or electronic copy of a CDC COVID-19 vaccination card, or
• if vaccinated in another country, then an original or copy of an alternative official vaccination record, as proof of FDA- or WHO-approved COVID-19 vaccination status
