A key health committee in the Minnesota Senate convened Monday to review Minnesota’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout so far.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with state Sen. Michelle Benson, R-Ham Lake, before the hearing. Benson chairs the Senate’s Health and Human Services Finance and Policy Committee.
