'Alarming' rise in COVID-19-related hospitalizations among unvaccinated adults in Michigan: officials
Fox News
While recent seven-day averages concerning COVID-19-related hospitalizations across the country have remained stable, health officials in Michigan have noted an “alarming” rise among unvaccinated individuals.
On Monday, the state opened up vaccine eligibility to adults ages 50 and up, as well as people ages 16 and up who have disabilities or other medical conditions. Caregivers and guardians of eligible people ages 16 and up are also now able to get the vaccine. The state will open up eligibility to all adults beginning April 5. "My prescription to all Michiganders is to wear your mask, wash your hands, avoid crowds and when it is your turn, get your vaccine," Roth said. "You must continue to take preventative measures even after you’re vaccinated because it takes at least two weeks for a vaccine’s full protection to kick in following the last dose, and it will take time to vaccinate everyone."More Related News
