Miguel Cabrera encourages COVID vaccinations in Michigan: 'Shots nowhere near as bad as virus'
Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has volunteered to serve as a co-chair of the Protect Michigan Commission in an effort to help promote the state’s COVID-19 vaccination and education efforts.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Wednesday that Cabrera and the Tigers have offered to produce public service announcements in English and Spanish that will encourage Michiganders to get vaccinated. “Miggy” also will encourage Michigan residents to practice preventative measures such as properly wearing masks, social distancing and frequent handwashing to reduce the spread of the virus until the vast majority of people have been vaccinated.
“I am honored by Gov. Whitmer’s appointment as a co-chair of the Protect Michigan Commission and look forward to using my platform to increase awareness of how getting vaccinated can help slow COVID-19 infections,” Cabrera said in a Wednesday news release. “Based on what I know from getting vaccinated already, the shots are nowhere near as bad as the virus. Our goal with the Commission is to get as many people vaccinated as possible, and I hope my support toward that end is successful.”
Whitmer created the Protect Michigan Commission (PMC) in January with appointees representing a “diverse array of industries, professions and backgrounds,” according to her office. The PMC is housed within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). They are charged with helping to ensure every Michigander has a plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19 once the opportunity becomes available. Their goal is facilitating at least 100,000 shots in arms daily.
