ESCANABA This is a message from your Upper Peninsula hospital leaders and health experts – fellow Yoopers who have endured the hardships of this pandemic alongside you. We’re proud to have the important job of caring for our families, friends, and neighbors. And having been on the front lines of this pandemic since day one, with very little rest, we know this fight is far from over.
Positively, vaccines prove to be more than 99 percent effective in preventing illness, hospitalizations, and deaths in Michigan. That said, we are in a race against aggressive variants that increase the risk of hospitalizations for both adults and children. We want to protect everyone, including kids, as they are not immune to COVID-19 and its long-term complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C).
