Food and agricultural essential workers will be in the second wave of COVID vaccines in Michigan according to the state’s updated plan released Wednesday.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer is encouraging people to contact their local health department to schedule appointments as the distribution of vaccines widens.
“By January 11th, all counties may begin vaccinating Michiganders who are 65 and up,” she says. “This will include some essential workers who will also be vaccinated.”
Those essential workers include school and childcare staff, frontline local, state and federal first responders, and staff in jails, prisons, and shelters.
