6 Ways to Signup for Your COVID-19 Vaccine in Michigan
Reliable information from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services about multiple ways to get signed up for the Coronavirus vaccine.
We hear a lot in the news about the efforts underway to get shots into arms and distribute the Coronavirus vaccine to as many people as quickly as possible. Much of the work has been left to State and local governments to map out a plan to get that done. Michigan is hard at work and has at least six ways for you to get information you need to get protected.
Our goal is to ensure that every eligible Michigander who wants a vaccine will get one. We know that residents across Michigan have different needs when it comes to access, so we’re partnering with groups like local health departments, hospitals, pharmacies, and 2-1-1 to provide multiple access points for signing up for a vaccine.
