More than 43,000 Michiganders living in communities with high Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine thanks to a pilot program coordinated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and the Protect Michigan Commission.
In early March, MDHHS and the Protect Michigan Commission awarded 35,800 doses of COVID-19 vaccine to 22 entities across Michigan to help enhance the state's vaccine equity strategy.
