Michigan is currently in Phase 1b in the COVID-19 vaccine plan, allowing for many Western Michigan University healthcare students to be among the first to receive the vaccine.
Senior Allison Pouliot works as a care assistant and medicine technician at Heritage Community Nursing Home in Kalamazoo and received her first dose of the Moderna vaccine Tuesday, Jan. 5 in a back hallway at her facility.Â
âWe had to fill out a pretty long consent form to get the vaccine,â Poulet said. âIt was available to all residents and employees. You just showed out, filled out another consent form and waited in line and the pharmacist gave the vaccine.â
