MARQUETTE The Marquette County Health Department has provided rollout phases and estimated starting times for the COVID-19 vaccination process in the Upper Peninsula.
The MCHD said vaccine has been distributed to many provider organizations across Michigan, and continues to be distributed and received. It encourages people age 16 and older to get vaccinated.
However, because of limited supply, vaccine distribution must follow strict guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the MIchigan Department of Health and Human Services to ensure people with the highest critical need are vaccinated first.
Dr. Bob Lorinser, medical director of the Marquette County Health Department, Dickinson-Iron District Health Department, Western Upper Peninsula Health Department and Public Health, Delta & Menominee Counties, said questions about vaccine allocations abound statewide and nationwide.

Local Marine Toys for Tots Assistant Coordinator Carmen Jamison reviews the many toys in the foundationâs Gladstone warehouse.
ESCANABA The COVID-19 pandemic has turned many routines and procedures on their heads this year for both individuals and organizations. Like many charities, the Marine Corps Toys for Tots foundation turned to out-of-the-box thinking to overcome challenges to their 2020 toy drive.
“We did have to change a few things this year because of COVID-19,” said local Toys for Tots Coordinator John Jamison. The foundation arranged to distribute the toys through the local food pantries, who distributed them along with their own holiday food box and basket orders. Those in participation included St. Vincent de Paul in both Escanaba and Gladstone, the Salvation Army, and All Saints Church in Gladstone.
