WEST MICHIGAN â Michiganâs vaccine eligibility expanded Monday, March 8 to include those 50 years and older with underlying health conditions, as well as caregivers.
While that group can start signing up depending on where you live, health experts say you may still be waiting a bit to actually get your shot.
âJust because it opened up, doesnât mean everywhere that they will be able to get a vaccine right away,â explained Eric Pessell, the Health Officer for the Calhoun County Public Health Department.
