LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan: All adults will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccine starting April 5; Detroit to get mass vaccination site
Starting March 22 in Michigan, anyone age 16 to 49 with certain medical conditions will become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine - the same day those age 50-64 are eligible under a previous announcement.
The federal regional mass vaccination site, at Ford Field in Detroit, will be able to administer an additional 6,000 doses a day for 8 weeks - the allocation will come on top of the state's regular supply. The site will open March 24 & run 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The mass site in Detroit is not yet taking reservations. Specific instructions on how to book - starting with those who are currently eligible for vaccine - will be announced in coming days.
Michigan's March 22 COVID-19 vaccine eligibility date also applies to people with disabilities, regardless of age
The state tells providers to, when scheduling appointments in this new mass group of newly eligible, consider a person's risk of exposure on the job and their vulnerability to getting severe disease
