ANN ARBOR, MI – All Michigan Medicine employees – working in person or remotely – are allowed to get the COVID-19 vaccine under the first phase of vaccine distribution, according to state guidelines and Michigan Medicine officials.
Several people reached out to MLive/The Ann Arbor News, saying they don’t think that’s right. They’re concerned vaccinations are going to Michigan Medicine staff working remotely with little to no risk of infection from COVID-19, instead of going to those in the community more susceptible to the virus.
