Last week Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and MDHHS officials announced the new phase of vaccination to help reach the state’s goal of vaccinating 70% of Michiganders over age 16 and bring a quicker end to the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan.

Starting Monday, Jan. 11, the following groups will be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine:

  • Michiganders age 65 and older
  • Frontline essential workers including police officers
  • First responders
  • Frontline state and federal workers
  • Jail and prison staff
  • PreK-12 teachers and childcare providers
