Michigan’s COVID-19 vaccination effort is expanding.
Beginning Monday, those age 65 and older will be able to get their shots. So will some younger essential workers, including school staff, first responders, and jail and prison staffers.
In a news conference yesterday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer said that vaccine supplies are still not arriving in the state as quickly as was promised.
Still, 152,000 residents have been inoculated – mostly health care workers.
Michigan’s current pandemic restrictions continue through January 15th. Whitmer said it’s still too early to decide whether they can be relaxed.
