Second FDA-authorized vaccine heading to Minnesota in days

A second COVID-19 vaccine is expected to start arriving in the state within days, after Friday's emergency authorization by federal officials. Like the Pfizer vaccine that Minnesotans started receiving last week, the Moderna vaccine requires two shots weeks apart. This is the MPR News evening update for Dec. 21, 2020.
