The waiting list to get a COVID-19 vaccination is almost exhausted and appointments are available immediately for clinics in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is now regularly posting all first dose COVID-19 clinics for self-scheduling of appointments as they become available.
Today the CDC and FDA released a joint statement informing providers of very rare but serious side effects and recommending the U.S. pause use of the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine out of an abundance of caution. The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is following this recommendation and pausing the administration of the J&J vaccine. There is no impact on the use of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
