Michigan makes homeless people vaccine-eligible
By
Detroit, Michigan — People who are homeless will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in Michigan starting Monday.
Health officials say it’s a critical step in curbing infections and making sure vulnerable populations have access.
“Our vulnerable populations are high priority for us right now,” Ingham County Health Officer Linda Vail said, according to the Lansing State Journal. “This opens the door to make sure that population is also vaccinated and we don’t continue to have outbreaks in shelters.”
The news comes as infection rates are dropping and vaccine campaigns are ramping up.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently announced the further loosening of the state’s coronavirus restrictions, easing capacity limits in restaurants and other businesses while also allowing for larger indoor and outdoor gatherings.
