(St. Paul, MN) -- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's administration is announcing its strategy to get children six months and older vaccinated for COVID-19.

Officials announced Wednesday that the vaccine could arrive in the state as early as next week. The effort follows an FDA panel recommendation of the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months.

The state is waiting for a CDC recommendation before moving forward with vaccinating young children. A CDC recommendation is expected this weekend.
