Breaking news from today’s Let’s Talk meeting on vaccines and next phases. We will continue to process the information and what it means but Down syndrome was recognized as one of a very small list of high risk conditions and will be in the very next waveof about 100,000.

Update - Unfortunately, it’s not a good one. We finally heard from Governor Walz’s team and they have not agreed to prioritize adults with Down syndrome in spite of their well documented risk. Please read the full update on our petition. Sign and share! change.org/p/governor-wal…

Still going! Thank you @kare11 for sharing! Please sign and share our petition!! #highriskmn #downsyndrome #covid19 kare11.com/mobile/article…

Thank you @WCCO for helping us get this urgent word out! #highriskmn #downsyndrome minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/02/03/adu…

New recommendations from the CDC. Those recommendations included 65+ AND 18-64 with underlying conditions. Minnesota moved those 65+ up in reaction to this recommendation - but did NOT choose to include those with underlying conditions. #highriskmn forbes.com/sites/rachelsa…

Thank you Chris Serres and the @StarTribune for continuing to shine a light on this issue. Our calls for communication and risk-based prioritization have gone unanswered. Please reach out to sarah@dsamn.org. startribune.com/we-feel-forgot…

Thank you @KSTP for helping us share this important story. Here’s hoping it’s the push we need to get a response. If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do. Link below the story link. kstp.com/news/minnesota… change.org/MinnDsVaccine

Minnesota's vaccine allocation plans do not adequately prioritize adults with Down syndrome given the significant risk of severe illness and death. We can do better. Please sign and share! change.org/MinnDsVaccine
