MDHHS updates vaccine eligibility, panel meeting on Moderna, Canton community mourns boy dead after being shot By FOX 2 Staff Michigan health officials set the goal of vaccinating that percentage of the population - which is about 5.4 million people - but originally only said adults 18 and up were able to get the COVID-19vaccine. Vaccinations have begun being administered across the state after the FDA approved Pfizer's vaccine late last week. On Thursday, an FDA advisory panel will be meeting to discuss the Moderna vaccine, which is also expected to be approved soon. The MDHHS is also now recommending women who are pregnant also get vaccinated with, of course, a conversation with your doctor about it.
