Great News!!

LANSING, Mich. (WJRT) - Within about three weeks, everyone in Michigan will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccines.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced Friday that everyone age 16 or older with disabilities or chronic medical conditions can receive the vaccine. On April 5, everyone age 16 or older in Michigan will be eligible for the vaccines.

Michiganders age 50 and older with chronic medical conditions became eligible for the vaccine on Monday while everyone age 50 and older regardless of their medical status already were scheduled to be eligible on March 22.

Appointments will be necessary to receive the vaccine from many providers and long waits are still possible. Health care providers are encouraged to continue vaccinating higher risk residents first, including senior citizens, essential workers and frontline workers.

1. Great news for Michiganders!

Michigan has a great governor, and I think the vaccine floodgates will soon be opened under President Biden!

2. No doubt they will be setting up some big arenas designated as vaccination sites

They held an event at Flint's Bishop Airport, earlier this month, and said there are plans to do that again.

I'm getting mine at a Meijer and when I was there for the first shot the line was really long, but the process was well organized and I was through in less than an hour. Since they scheduled the 2nd shot for exactly 3 weeks, to the day and time, I anticipate the same crowd, next Thursday. I'm already getting text reminders!
