Across Michigan, 814,235 people have first-round Covid shots and another 214,051 are protected with two doses.
The state health department also says the 1 million vaccinations as of Tuesday are 60% of doses allocated to Michigan so far by the federal government, including supplies that may be in transit.
More than 430,000 doses of Michigan's total (1.71 million) were reserved for longterm care facilities, where 111,351 (26%) had been administered to residents and workers as of Monday -- the latest data posted for that category.
