ST. PAUL, Minn. — Governor Tim Walz rolled up his left sleeve for his annual flu shot. The gubernatorial injection was for television cameras to encourage Minnesotans to get vaccinated against both the new CoVid strain and the flu. Walz, however is putting off the CoVid shot. He has no choice: The CoVid vaccine won federal approval only last week and hasn’t arrived yet from manufacturers. The governor’s other possible next shot: For the RSV virus, which is especially recommended for people over 60. Walz is 59.
“Just a little pinch.” So said the nurse to the governor.
