LANSING (WWJ) -- Michigan has reached a vaccination milestone.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer says 60% of residents age 16 and older have received at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
She says the continued drop in cases, deaths and hospitalizations is setting up the state's economy for a strong recovery, and that we will emerge from this once-in-a-century pandemic stronger than ever.
“Thanks to every Michigander who stepped up to keep themselves, their family, and their community safe,” Whitmer said. “We can all feel a sense of optimism thanks to the tireless efforts of countless frontline workers who put their own safety on the line to keep the rest of us going. And we are tremendously grateful to the medical community who kept us all safe and created the safe, effective vaccines, all miracles of modern science.”
Michigan has administered more shots per 100k than Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina and Georgia.
