Oakland County unveils its latest large COVID-19 vaccination site
Pontiac – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined other officials Friday to kick off the opening of another large-scale COVID-19 vaccine site in Oakland County.
Whitmer said by increasing vaccinations across Michigan and following safety protocols – including masking and social distancing – the state could meet its goal of vaccinating 70% of residents by this summer.
“We all know what needs to be done,” said Whitmer. “…I think we can reach that goal by the Fourth of July and enjoy it like we should.”
Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter joined Whitmer, Pontiac Mayor Deirdre Waterman and others at the United Wholesale Mortgage sports complex in Pontiac.

âOakland County has learned it will receive its first shipment of single-dose COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson by Wednesday, County Executive Dave Coulter announced Monday, March 1. Oakland County Health Division is expecting 6,700 doses.
ââThese Johnson & Johnson doses arriving this week are another ray of hope,â Coulter said. âOur challenge is supply that does not meet our demand, and a third effective vaccine helps. We look forward to getting more doses into arms of Oakland County residents so we can emerge from the heavy cloud of the pandemic.â
