These additional vaccines came from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Servicesâ Community Outreach Vaccine Project.
âOur team has worked very hard to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine as efficiently as possible,â said Adam London, director of the Kent County Health Department. âThese additional doses will play an essential role in making sure we get our most vulnerable population vaccinated.â

Craig Watkins 2006 campaign for Dallas County DA was built on the support of Black churches.
Almost 20 years ago, Craig Watkins narrowly lost his 2002 race for Dallas County District Attorney.
He never stopped campaigning, especially within the Black church.
Leading up to the 2006 election, Watkins said he visited roughly three churches every Sunday.
“You would contact the pastors individually,” Watkins said. “They would give you the okay to say, [You’re] going to come to our church at 11:30. We’ll introduce you. You’ll have two minutes. ”
Two minutes to introduce himself to a huge group of potential voters. Two minutes to get his message out. But the outreach wasn t limited to indoor spaces.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan In its over 80 year legacy, New Hope Baptist Church has served as more than a place of worship, and on Thursday it continued that tradition in opening its doors to Spectrum Health s first community COVID-19 vaccination clinic. We always try to be intentional about meeting all needs, said Rev. Howard Earle Jr., senior pastor at New Hope Baptist Church. I d say no we probably didn t think that we would be the location of a vaccination clinic in the midst of a global pandemic, but it makes sense, you know.
