Michigan gets $90.2 million from CDC for COVID-19 vaccine efforts
Michigan is getting a boost in federal dollars for its COVID-19 vaccine efforts.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday it ll award the state $90,239,771 to build partnerships with community-based organizations to increase vaccine uptake, especially among underserved populations hard-hit by the virus.
The goal is to use the money to ensure greater equity and access to vaccines in communities where people might not be able to get to vaccine sites or may be hesitant about vaccination.
The money comes from $3 billion in funding that the CDC is distributing from the American Rescue Plan and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act.
